About Assyrian Universal Alliance Foundation
The Assyrian Universal Alliance Foundation’s largest recent grant in the data was a $154,000 award to Assyrian Aid Society, tied to support for an Assyrian school in northern Iraq and to documentation work on books and periodicals maintained by the Assyrian Chaldean Church in Turkey. That combination of education, cultural preservation, and community infrastructure shows how the foundation funds Assyrian identity across institutions and generations. Other major grants reinforce that pattern. In 2025, it gave $93,400 to Assyrian Aid Society for the Assyrian school in northern Iraq and events, and in 2024 it gave $90,000 to the same organization for the school. The foundation also funded language and heritage projects, including $48,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Insights Software Technologies Inc for an Assyrian dictionary project. Alongside these larger awards, the grant list includes churches, schools, cultural groups, and relief organizations, indicating a grantmaking mix that supports formal programs, religious institutions, and Assyrian community life.
What Assyrian Universal Alliance Foundation Funds
Education is a visible theme in the grant record. The foundation gave $90,000 to Assyrian Aid Society in 2024 to support an Assyrian school in northern Iraq, and $5,500 to Etuti Institue in 2024 for Nabu educational awards. Language and documentation receive sustained support. It awarded $48,000 in 2024 to Insights Software Technologies Inc for developing an Assyrian dictionary, and $21,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Aramaic Bible Translation Nfp for financial assistance to a group translating the Bible from Aramaic to English. Religious and community institutions also appear often. The foundation gave $15,000 to Assyrian Christian Church in 2025 for Christmas and church remodeling, and $10,000 to St Peter Cathedral Holy Apostolic Acoe in 2023 for church renovation. It also supported Assyrian Athletic Club of Illinois with $6,000 in 2025 for a soccer program.
How Assyrian Universal Alliance Foundation Gives
Typical grants are small relative to the largest awards: p25 is $1,094, the median is $2,191, and p75 is $5,000. The recent grant list shows both recurring support and one-off project funding. Assyrian Aid Society appears in multiple years, as do Insights Software Technologies Inc and Aramaic Bible Translation Nfp, which points to repeat relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation is not a fund for individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Its pattern includes direct grants, sponsorships, and program-specific donations, often attached to a named project or event.
