Mission and programs · 2023

• IAU WILL ENGAGE SALARIED CITIZEN RESEARCHERS TO FACILITATE GENERATIVE DIALOGUES WITH MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. CITIZEN RESEARCHERS WILL THEN, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH IAU, DETROIT MERCY, AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, CO-CREATE AN "INDEX" BY WHICH THE ABILITY TO ASSESS THE EXTENT TO WHICH CURRENT DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS CONTRIBUTE TO, OR DETRACT FROM, THE WELL BEING OF BLACK RESIDENTS CAN BE STARTED. ONCE A THRESHOLD (SET OF CRITERIA OUTLINED IN A REPORT) FOR THRIVING HAS BEEN DETERMINED, THE PRACTITIONERS WILL THEN HAVE DATA THAT CAN INFORM THE POLICIES AND PRACTICES NECESSARY TO MANIFEST THRIVING BLACK COMMUNITIES THAT ARE DESERVED.

  Expenses $143,075 · Revenue $1,400

• AS IAU SEEKS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE UNIVERSAL CRITERIA FOR BLACK THRIVING, THE EXPEDITION SERVES PREDOMINANTLY AS A RESEARCH EFFORT. THE PARIS EDITION IS ORGANIZED AROUND THE CEREMONIAL INDUCTION OF JOSEPHINE BAKER INTO THE ILLUSTRIOUS PANTHEON, THE MONUMENT WHICH HOUSES THE REMAINS OF FRANCE'S MOST RENOWNED WAR HEROES, AUTHORS, AND LUMINARIES OF VARIOUS DISTINCTIONS.

  Expenses $69,015

  Expenses $178,464 · Grants $91,000 · Revenue $26,706

• OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL MONTHS, IAU WILL ENGAGE ORGANIZATIONS IN A TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS EXPLORING THE APPLICATION OF "REPAIRATIONS" WITHIN EACH ORGANIZATION AND WITH THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. IN ORDER TO USHER IN A PARADIGM SHIFT THAT IS WORTHY OF 2021'S WORLDWIDE RACIAL RECKONING, A NEW FRAMEWORK IS REQUIRED. IAU'S APPROACH IS ROOTED IN A MODEL OF RESTORATION AND REPAIR, ONE THAT SEEKS TO RESTORE BALANCE IN RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

  Expenses $11,155 · Revenue $56,609

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
