Why is your organization called Cyrus International?

King Cyrus the Great is known as one of history's first and greatest humanitarians. He reigned in Persia, the largest empire the world had ever seen, from 559 BC to 529 BC, and he allowed the Hebrew exiles to resettle and rebuild Jerusalem, earning him an honored place in Judaism. By pursuing a policy of generosity instead of repression, and by favoring local religions, he was able to make his subjects into enthusiastic supporters. His character and influence has spanned throughout the world over millennia. Ted Koppel of ABC's Nightline News has said: "Cyrus the Great is genuinely one of history's towering figures. America's own founders such as Thomas Jefferson were influenced by Cyrus the Great in the field of Human Rights."

What is Cyrus International?

Cyrus International (Cyrus) is a US non-profit organization with a goal of helping  oppressed and hurting people across the world through projects committed to bring humanitarian aid and relief. Our core belief is not only to provide aid, but also to offer restoration, rehabilitation, and vocational training in order for these individuals to have a chance to succeed in everyday life.

Does Cyrus disclose financial information?

Yes, Cyrus discloses financial information at the close of each fiscal yearend or upon written request.  We believe in the highest standards of financial stewardship and integrity.

How does Cyrus effectively help oppress people through their campaigns?

The Cyrus model is built over years of experience in partnering with effective groups on the ground where the need is great. Identifying and overseeing these efforts requires empowering local people with the proper tools, guidance and resources to reach and to achieve sustainable success. For instance, in our orphanHOPE campaign we look for organizations that work to supply water, food, clothing, shelter, and medical aid to orphans. In our traffickingHOPE campaign, we are committed to support organizations that will provide safe houses, medical care, legal support, rehabilitation and vocational training to trafficked victims. In our dreamHOPE campaigns, we support dream centers within the inner cities of the US to help educate and train the youth and young adults of America, giving them the opportunities to succeed in life.
