Weekly
Chai hours
The weekly tea + conversation that started everything. Saffron tea, sweets, room rental, the people who set up and clean up.

Keep IRSA running.
This isn't IRSA Aid — that's a mutual-aid pool for community emergencies. This is the organization itself: chai hours, Nowruz, mentorship, the website you're reading. Every dollar keeps something on the calendar.
One-time gifts only. We pass donations through to operating costs after payment-processor fees. Not a 501(c)(3); not tax-deductible.
What your gift covers
Three things, every semester.
The org isn't funded by UCF beyond a small student-org allowance. The rest comes from us — from members, alumni, and visitors who think a Persian student community on this campus is worth keeping.
Seasonal
Nowruz + cultural events
Catering, music permits, decoration, the hall. Iran's biggest holiday isn't free to put on. Same for Yalda night and Sizdah Bedar.
Always-on
Infrastructure
The site you're reading, the newsletter you got, the receipt you'll receive. Domains, hosting, the payment processor.
