Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

GISHRU is dedicated to preserving and promoting Assyrian cultural heritage and identity by engaging young Assyrians through transformative educational and humanitarian initiatives. Through immersive homeland trips, youth-led community projects, and cultural preservation efforts, GISHRU strengthens global connections to Assyrian history, language, and traditions.

  • Spring 2024 GISHRU Trip. The Spring 2024 GISHRU Trip provided approximately 65 young Assyrians with a transformative 10-day cultural immersion in Iraq. Participants explored archaeological sites, ancient monasteries, and Assyrian ancestral villages. The itinerary included cultural exchange activities, community service, and youth-led workshops on heritage, language, and identity. The trip fostered a stronger connection to Assyrian culture and inspired ongoing community engagement among participants.

    Expenses $64,861

  • School Rehabilitation Fundraiser. GISHRU facilitated a fundraising campaign in collaboration with the Assyrian Aid Society of America (AASA) and the Assyrian Aid Society of Iraq (AASI) to support Urhai and Nissan Schools in Sarsink, Iraq. Through social media and the PayPal Giving Fund, GISHRU raised $32,421.79, transferring $32,400 to AASA for use in structural improvements and repairs, classroom supplies, and educational resources. GISHRU acted as an intermediary, with no direct involvement in program implementation, retaining $21.79 for processing fees.

    Grants $32,400

  • Community Engagement - GISHRU Alumni Mixer. On September 1, 2024, GISHRU hosted a private social mixer exclusively for approximately 60 GISHRU alumni at the Assyrian National Convention. The event provided a space for alumni to reconnect, share experiences, and strengthen community bonds. Branded merchandise was distributed to promote ongoing engagement. The mixer reinforced alumni networks and fostered continued commitment to GISHRU's mission.
