Both PAAIA Inc and IA-100 have made the election under section 501(h) Form 990, Part III, Line 4a As part of our mission to educate lawmakers about the culture and celebrations of our community, we encouraged members of Congress to recognize the Persian New Year through a Nowruz Resolution that commemorates the ancient holiday and recognizes the contributions of Persian Civilization and that of Iranian Americans to the social and economic fabric of America. PAAIA Fund organized a congressional briefing with over 200 congressional staffers to discuss the ongoing situation in Iran after the death of Mahsa Amini and hear from experts on the subject. To empower the next generation of Iranian Americans, we continued the Civic Leadership Program that encourages youth to participate in the civic process and make an impact in their communities. The program provides various internship training opportunities, a mentorship program, and an immersive summer leadership experience in Washington DC. Additionally, PAAIA Fund offers several Public Service and Capital Hill Fellowship opportunities to college age Iranian Americans to learn about the legislative process firsthand and to inspire them to pursue careers in public service. We continue our Civic Leadership Credential which is an online course that equips participants with the knowledge and skills they need to get involved in civic engagement. PAAIA Fund supports the Iranian American community in times of need as well as shares the successes of community members. Additionally, we organize retreats for members with informational and networking sessions. PAAIA Fund commissioned and released the 2023 National Public Opinion Survey of Iranian Americans. The survey was conducted by Zogby Research Services from January 27th - February 7th of 2023 and is based on a representative sample of Iranian Americans. Since 2008, PAAIA Fund has commissioned nationally recognized pollsters to survey Iranian American attitudes on important topics ranging from domestic issues to foreign policy preferences. The first of their kind, these national public opinion polls raise the voice of the Iranian American community by presenting accurate scientific data to policymakers and the media in order to better their understanding of Iranian Americans.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The compensation is determined by the Board of Directors based on the average salary paid to those who manage similar nonprofit organizations.
