Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

OUR MISSION IS TO STRENGTHEN THE RAPIDLY GROWING SOUTH ASIAN LEGAL COMMUNITY WITH A RECOGNIZED AND TRUSTED FORUM FOR PROFESSIONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND TO PROMOTE EQUAL RIGHTS AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR THE SOUTH ASIAN COMMUNITY.

  • ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE: FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES, THE SABA NORTH AMERICA CONFERENCE HAS BEEN THE PREMIER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND NETWORKING EVENT FOR SOUTH ASIAN LAWYERS IN NORTH AMERICA. BRINGING TOGETHER ATTENDEES FROM ACROSS NORTH AMERICA, EACH CONFERENCE INCLUDES DAYS OF ACTIVITIES RANGING FROM PROFESSIONAL AND NETWORKING DEVELOPMENT, CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT AND CELEBRATION, TO SUBSTANTIVE LEGAL PROGRAMMING. OUR CONFERENCE PRESENTS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE A MEMBERS PROFILE WITHIN THE SOUTH ASIAN BAR, A GROUP THAT INCLUDES CORPORATE COUNSEL, LAW FIRM PARTNERS AND ASSOCIATES, FEDERAL, STATE, PROVINCIAL, AND APPELLATE JUDGES, LAW PROFESSORS, GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC INTEREST ATTORNEYS, ENTREPRENEURS, AND LAW STUDENTS FROM ACROSS NORTH AMERICA AND BEYOND.

    Expenses $805,527 · Grants $177,513 · Revenue $232,809

  • CORPORATE COUNCIL RETREAT: THE CORPORATE COUNSEL RETREAT BRINGS TOGETHER A SMALL GROUP OF MID TO SENIOR LEVEL IN HOUSE COUNSEL FOR A WEEKEND FOCUSED ON IN-PERSON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, NETWORKING, MENTORING, AND TEAM BUILDING. EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS ARE PRESENTED BY RETREAT FACULTY SELECTED FROM INFLUENTIAL INDUSTRY LEADERS AND PROMINENT SPONSOR REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE THEIR EXPERIENCE AND THOUGHT LEADERSHIP.

    Expenses $134,386 · Revenue $43,007

  • LOBBY WEEK: SINCE 2017, SABA HAS CONDUCTED A LOBBY WEEK THAT BRINGS SABA ATTORNEYS TO WASHINGTON, D.C., WHETHER VIRTUALLY OR IN-PERSON, TO MEET WITH CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS AND DISCUSS PRESSING ISSUES TO SABA MEMBERS AND OUR COMMUNITY. LOBBY WEEK ALLOWS SABA TO AMPLIFY ITS VOICE ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY, AND TO DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITH POLITICAL LEADERS AND STAFF. PRIOR TO LOBBY WEEK, REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS ATTEND TRAINING SESSIONS TO GAIN A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUES AFFECTING THE SOUTH ASIAN COMMUNITY AND HOW TO COMMUNICATE THEM EFFECTIVELY TO CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES. DURING LOBBY WEEK, SABA MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN LIVE AND VIRTUAL ADVOCACY MEETINGS WITH CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES IN WASHINGTON D.C. DURING THE SPRING.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
