| Headquarters | 200 Liberty Street, New York, NY, United States no source on file |
| Funding | Not-for-profit cooperative; funded mainly by fees paid by member and subscriber news organizations that license AP content, with revenue reinvested in newsgathering rather than paid out as dividends (AP has no shareholders). Foundation/philanthropic grants are a supplementary and reportedly growing funding source (cited at over $61 million raised across the seven years to 2024), supporting specific beats such as health, science, climate and state-government coverage; AP has said it plans an affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit to expand this funding stream. |
| Reach | Reported to operate roughly 235 news bureaus in 94 countries; AP content was published/republished by more than 1,300 newspapers and broadcasters per a cited 2016 count; apnews.com was reported to draw more than 128 million monthly website visits as of 2025. |
