Mission
Drawing on specialized knowledge of the region, our organization provides living essentials to disadvantaged families of rural Iran and develops transformational education programs for its youth. Children whose basic needs are met are freed to experience the curiosity and hope that inspire them to learn and to dream. Children with access to a culture of literacy, reading, and education can conceive of their own potential and recognize means for improving their circumstances. Targeting these objectives in communities where there is deficit lays the foundation for a process of enduring growth and development. Our vision is set on the long-term, with a sharp focus on the ultimate independent sustainability of our impact.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
