Mission
To advance the Afghan-American community through education and outreach, and promote civic and social engagement.
-
In 2023, AACO hosted its 8th annual Afghan-American Conference (AAC) in Washington D.C., attracting 408 participants from 23 states and 3 countries, including 276 new attendees. Since 2015, AAC has engaged 2,652 participants, serving as a valuable forum for empowering Afghan-Americans and addressing pressing issues within the diaspora community. The 2023 conference featured 56 breakout sessions, with 17 new topics that reflected the community's diversity and fostered an inclusive environment. Led by 94 expert facilitators, the event provided a safe space for candid dialogue, professional development, and relationship-building across six learning blocks: culture & connection, leadership & skill-building, community, diaspora dialogues, brave spaces, and civic engagement. Beyond the annual conference, AACO organized regional events throughout the year, engaging nearly 600 community members.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
