30 Years After

What 30 Years After does

30 Years After is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007 by Iranian-American Jewish young professionals to promote civic, communal, and Jewish engagement among that demographic. Its core programs include two six-month fellowship cohorts — the Maher Fellowship (leadership training, ages 21-35) and the Moradi Berkowitz Public Service Fellowship (ages 24-39, $260 tuition with financial aid) — along with the BenEvri Project, an oral history initiative documenting the experiences of Persian Jews in Iran, during the Iranian Revolution, and in the United States, and Launch Lab, a six-month alumni accelerator supported by USC Brittingham Social Enterprise Lab.

The organization distributes its offerings primarily through direct community engagement in the Greater Los Angeles area, combining in-person fellowship components with virtual discussions involving elected officials. It has positioned itself as the recognized entry point for other Jewish and non-Jewish organizations seeking to reach the Iranian-American Jewish community. Complementary fee-for-service lines include cultural consulting, multimedia presentations, and cultural awareness training delivered to businesses, non-profits, schools, and synagogues on project-based pricing with non-profit rates available.

Revenue is generated through tax-deductible individual donations at multiple giving tiers, corporate and personal event sponsorships (including the named Moradi and Stahl Berkowitz family sponsorships), fellowship tuition, and project-based service fees. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization is led by Co-Presidents Jasmin Niku Hakim and Arielle Yael Mokhtarzadeh, with Jason Youdeem as Board Chair and Tabby Refael as a co-founder now serving on the Board of Directors.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• AIPAC: AIPAC is the largest pro-Israel advocacy organization in the U.S., overlapping with 30YA's civic engagement and leadership-training mission and sharing leadership (Board Chair Jason Youdeem is AIPAC's National Director of Virtual Engagement).
• Hillel at UCLA / Hillel International: Hillel engages Jewish university students and young adults in leadership, identity, and community programming, overlapping with 30YA's young-professional focus and sharing leadership (Co-President Jasmin Niku Hakimi sits on Hillel at UCLA's board).
• Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles: The local Jewish Federation is both a funder of 30YA's Launch Lab via NuRoots/Nazarian and a broader incumbent delivering community programming, leadership pipelines, and philanthropic distribution across the same Los Angeles Jewish audience.

Others

• New Israel Fund: New Israel Fund supports Israeli civil society and Jewish diaspora engagement, overlapping with 30YA's civic-leadership and Israel-adjacent programming though operating at much larger scale and broader geographic scope.

Direct peers

• JIMENA (Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa): JIMENA advocates for Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, including Sephardic and Mizrahi communities, and similarly focuses on heritage education, oral history, and outreach to Jewish communal institutions — closely paralleling 30 Years After's Iranian-Jewish documentation and education work.
• Sephardic Educational Center (SEC): SEC focuses on Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewish heritage, culture, and education, including Persian Jewish programming — comparable to 30YA's mission of preserving Iranian-Jewish identity and educating the broader community.
• Iranian Jewish Women's Organization (IJWO): IJWO is a national Iranian-Jewish community organization focused on cultural preservation, education, and women's leadership — directly comparable in mission, demographic focus, and programming style to 30 Years After.
• Israeli-American Council (IAC): IAC mobilizes Israeli and Jewish-American young professionals through regional programming, leadership development, and community events — a structurally similar next-gen diaspora model that competes for the same Jewish young-professional engagement and donor pool in LA.

Emerging players

• Magbit Foundation: Magbit is an LA-based Jewish nonprofit providing interest-free loans to students and small businesses; Co-President Arielle Mokhtarzadeh serves on its board, making it an overlapping leadership and donor-network peer in the LA Jewish nonprofit ecosystem.
• 18Doors: 18Doors supports interfaith and Jewish engagement for millennials and Gen Z through education and community programming — a comparable next-generation Jewish engagement nonprofit with overlapping audience and methodology.
