Our partners and their informal networks aspire to alleviate suffering and increase meaningful participation of communities in decision making, assistance in navigating access to legal services (birth registration, work permits, legal documentation, employee rights) and access to information via independent media.Continued on Schedule O 2050191 1518790 Community DevelopmentPartners Asia directly engages local leaders and community-based groups, in rural and urban areas as well as along borders to address poverty and lack of education with a view of a brighter future for struggling communities.Related to community development, Partners Asia's partners' work in in the areas of economic empowerment, formal and non-formal schooling, and free medical care for poor migrants unrecognized as refugees. 549863 Gender EqualityTo advance gender equity and support the rights, safety, leadership, and well-being of women, girls, and LGBTQI+ individuals across Southeast Asia.How: Partners Asia provides grants, capacity strengthening, and learning opportunities to organizations working to address gender-based violence, discrimination, economic inequality, exclusion from decision making, and barriers to education, health, and human rights. The organization also supports women-led and LGBTQI+ led initiatives and movements. 478600 426882 EducationMigrant children and those who live in rural areas or city slums often have limited access to education; we want them in school and for their schooling to count. How: Access to a basic education is not assured for many children in the communities we reach. We support non-formal schools in refugee settlements, city slums, monasteries, and even in plantations all to help prevent children from getting lost amid the ethnic tensions and displacements. Beyond the classrooms, we back efforts to standardize accreditation so that children who study in non-formal schools can have their education recognized in both Thailand and Myanmar. Keeping children in school deters human trafficking, labor exploitation, early marriage, and the cycle of poverty. 238252 95283 Partners Asia worked with local groups and informal networks of community organizations all around Myanmar (Burma), implementing projects with the shared goal of strengthening civil society among the most marginalized. Opportunities, risks, and needs vary greatly in different communities, so Partners Asia backs trusted local partners who identify appropriate solutions, with projects addressing formal and non-formal education, women and child health, gender equality, village infrastructure, and legal rights for the disadvantaged. Partners Asia also funded community-led research, supported network building, and offered training and one-on-one assistance to help partners take their organizations to the next level. In Thailand, Partners Asia directly engaged local leaders and community-based organizations all along the Thailand-Myanmar border and migrants in urban centers. As in Myanmar, opportunities, risks, and needs differ depending on community. In Thailand, Partners Asias partners worked with people who fled poverty and/or fighting in Myanmar, tailoring projects given their unique local knowledge that include: formal and non-formal schooling for Myanmar and stateless children; humanitarian emergency support to communities severely affected by fighting; assistance for migrants to obtain work permits and legal documentation; free medical care for poor migrants unrecognized as refugees. Partners Asia offers individual support to local group leaders to improve programs and operations, and is building networks across the border into Myanmar. 716852 522165 6359196 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA WA X X C Lisa Turner 5102742424 436 14th Street Suite 411 Oakland CA 94612 Patty Curran Exec Director 40.00 0.00 X 174537 0 6981 C Lisa Turner CFO 40.00 0.00 X 162713 0 1587 Khin Ohmar Director 40.00 0.00 X 156250 0 0 Somphavanh Cajski Chief Ops Officer 40.00 0.00 137514 0 5501 Therese Caouette Secretary 24.00 0.00 X X 65000 0 0 Harold Nathan Chairman 24.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nuntavarn Vichit-Vadakan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tabitha Jordan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Kessler Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lily Tung Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthie Tin-Oo Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 696014 14069 4 false true false Geneva Beth Pritchard 715 E 26th St Spokane WA 99203 Consulting 173950 Paula Bock 9319 22nd Ave NW Seattle WA 98117 Consulting 132000 Pwint Htun 2422 S Ferdinand St Seattle WA 98108 Consulting 220000 3 8030335 8030335 0 205584 205584 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8235919 205584 0 0 4697280 4697280 0 337250 39665 243112 54473 0 137514 20000 84181 33333 14027 2387 8128 3512 34838 4333 24067 6438 37169 4687 25563 6919 0 0 47512 47512 0 0 0 52893 22378 15307 15208 0 13164 2773 5826 4565 18766 9128 6068 3570 0 13681 2993 5700 4988 6476 90 259 6127 0 0 0 0 0 6467 2871 3014 582 Grant expenses 1549108 1548783 100 225 Bank charges/processing fees 20563 6 20557 Trainings and meetings 5296 1478 3721 97 Member/Dues/Subscriptions 1677 168 257 1252 1694 176 1124 394 6995375 6359196 494496 141683 287113 202058 1267442 788806 2987602 1699959 0 0 0 0 0 6893 11713 0 4005316 7183490 0 0 0 21352 27120 8575718 9913146 98606 76753 118237 119377 17027 21285 233870 217415 X 2836054 4154013 5505794 5541718 8341848 9695731 8575718 9913146 X 1240544 113339 X X false true X true false X 5792181 3179718 8072163 5626319 8030335 30700716 0 0 5792181 3179718 8072163 5626319 8030335 30700716 7188604 23512112 699 28096 112337 164834 205584 511550 0 0 31212266 0.75330 0.73200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Lease payable current 8592 Lease payable noncurrent 12693 21285 X 8349287 113368 113368 8235919 8235919 6995375 6995375 6995375 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, Partners Asia is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the organization and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that Partners Asia has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2025, Partners Asia does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.Partners Asia has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. This exemption is subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that the organization continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. Partners Asia may periodically receive unrelated business income requiring the organization to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, Partners Asia calculates and accrues the applicable taxes payable.
