About ASSYRIAN FOUNDATION OF AMERICA

The Assyrian Foundation of America is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1964 that works to preserve Assyrian heritage and support Assyrian students and families through educational, cultural, and humanitarian programs. AFA produces the quarterly Nineveh magazine, sponsors cultural events and exhibitions, awards scholarships and educational grants, and partners with reputable Assyrian relief organizations to fund humanitarian recovery projects abroad. Recent organizational activity includes continued publication of Nineveh into 2023–2024 and ongoing program support for students and cultural programs. AFA operates as a largely volunteer-led foundation that manages long-term financial assets (including rental income) used to fund its program work and grantmaking; its publicly filed Form 990s show the organization actively filing federal returns and reporting program, contribution, and investment activity in recent years.
