Who WE Are

Founders' Meeting in 2019

Our Mission

Celebrating Community, Culture, Family, and Diversity

Alefba Group is a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating Iranian and Persian culture while providing vital social services to our community. Established in 2019, our mission is to enrich the cultural scene and support the well-being of the local community through various events, programs, and activities.

Inspired by the name “Alefba,” meaning “Alphabet,” we believe in the power of connection. Just as the alphabet connects letters, we connect people to celebrate our collective heritage, fostering a sense of family and unity among individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

We are committed to promoting diversity. Our inclusive events and activities reflect the rich tapestry of Persian culture and its influences, aiming to build a more understanding community.

In addition to cultural initiatives, Alefba Group serves the local community of Washington state, particularly the Iranian community, through educational, social, and charitable activities.

Our goal is to support and uplift our community, fostering belonging and mutual respect. Join us at Alefba Group as we celebrate Iranian culture, embrace diversity, and strengthen our community bonds.
