What Iranian Cultural Society of North Carolina Inc does
Mission
To preserve and promote the persian culture, language, and traditions by offering classes and cultural programs; enhance communication among members through various activities; and participate in charitable programs to benefit the membership and the greater community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The persian school continued its activities through regular weekly or biweekly classes, outdoor activities, and field trips. The school offers classes to children as young 3 years old to high school level and adults to learn the persian language and traditions. The school offered the montessori method of teaching for younger children. In addition, massnavi classes were held biweekly at the center, and attendance was solid. The playground was installed on the property in 2024 to enhance social interaction among children and strengthen community ties. A cafe serving traditional persian food was established on the property. It has gained popularity among our members and the greater community introducing our traditions to non-iranians community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.6M to $2.5M (+56%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund IRANIAN CULTURAL SOCIETY OF NORTH CAROLINA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 73% · 2022 100% · 2023 96% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
94% of IRANIAN CULTURAL SOCIETY OF NORTH CAROLINA INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $3k that is directly attributable, 96% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 4 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $38k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
