National Iranian American Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Founded in 2000, the National Iranian-American Council states that it is "an association of Iranian-Americans, especially professionals, involved in networking Iranian-American individuals and organisations and promotion of Iranian culture."

NIAC is designated as a 501(C3) non-partisan, non-political, non-sectarian, and non-profit organization and is dedicated to promoting Iranian-American participation in American civic life. The council is headquartered in Washington DC.

The National Iranian American Council was established for the purpose of serving as a catalyst for information sharing and collaboration among Iranian-American organizations and providing an organized framework for effective networking and civic education for Iranian-Americans.

NIAC is transparent in its funding and receives funds from organizations such as the National Endowment for Democracy and the Tides foundation.
