In November 2015, under increasing pressure from declining donations and persistent media scrutiny, Mortenson announced his retirement from CAl as both an employee and nonvoting member of the board. While donations had fallen from $22.8 million in 2010 to only $2.2 million in 2014, Mortenson had continued to draw an annual salary, earning $194,000 in 2014. As part of the announcement, Mortenson stated that he had agreed to consult with CAI for its over-seas programs occasionally, which prompted Krakauer to comment: "I am concerned CAI apparently does not intend to sever all ties with Mortenson, which suggests that the board still doesn't comprehend the harm Mortenson has done."
In September 2016, a documentary directed by Mortenson's friend Jennifer Jordan and her husband, videographer Jeff
Rhoads, was released. Titled 3000 Cups of Tea, the documentary directly refuted all of the allegations made by both
60 Minutes and Krakauer, claiming that the attacks on Mortenson were unprovoked and unwarranted. Any inaccuracies and misrepresentations that Mortenson himself had already acknowledged were dismissed as being "insignificant" and
as having done "no real harm."
The Central Asia Institute continues to operate, although with reported contributions of only $3.76 million in fiscal year
ending September 2016(according to reports filed with Charity Navigator), but the heady days of Mortenson's fame seem far behind them.
