Cyrus Alliance connects Iranian-Americans across the United States—students, professionals, entrepreneurs, academics, and community leaders—to strengthen civic engagement, advance leadership, and expand our representation in American public life.
Our mission is to unite Iranian-Americans across the United States by fostering meaningful connections among students, professionals, entrepreneurs, academics, and community leaders. We are committed to strengthening civic engagement, advancing leadership development, and building a vibrant national network that empowers Iranian-Americans to contribute to the prosperity, democratic institutions, and founding principles of the United States.
We support the universal values of freedom, human dignity, human rights, and self-determination for the people of Iran while encouraging active participation in American civic life. Through education, mentorship, advocacy, and community building, we seek to cultivate the next generation of Iranian-American leaders and expand the community's representation in public service, government, academia, business, and Congress.
Education, mentorship, advocacy, and community building—working together to turn shared heritage into shared impact.
We build a coast-to-coast network linking students, professionals, entrepreneurs, academics, and community leaders—so no member of our community has to build their path alone.
Through mentorship and leadership development, we cultivate the next generation of Iranian-American leaders and prepare them to serve in every arena of American life.
We encourage active participation in American civic life—voting, public service, and community leadership—strengthening the democratic institutions that protect us all.
We champion freedom, human dignity, and human rights, and we work to expand our community's representation in government, academia, business, and Congress.
We take our name from Cyrus the Great, whose ancient cylinder is widely regarded as one of history's earliest declarations of human dignity and tolerance. It is a heritage that belongs to every Iranian—and a value that belongs to all humanity.
From an ancient charter of human dignity to a modern community of civic leaders.
That legacy is the bridge at the heart of our work: honoring Persian heritage while embracing the founding principles of the United States, and standing for freedom and self-determination for the people of Iran.
Liberty as the foundation of a flourishing society.
The inherent worth of every person, everywhere.
Rights that are universal, indivisible, and inalienable.
The right of the Iranian people to shape their own future.
Wherever you are on your path, there is a place for you in the Alliance.
Our community is taking root at universities across the country, connecting Iranian-American students with mentors, leaders, and one another.
