Organizations aligned with Zoroastrian principles may apply for formal recognition by the Council.
AZIIE recognition signifies that an organization has been evaluated by the Council and found to be aligned with Zoroastrian principles as established in our Charter and Sacred Foundation.
Recognition is not automatic. Each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, with the Council evaluating the organization's commitment to Asha, its service to the community, and its alignment with authentic Zoroastrian teaching.
Recognition by AZIIE confers legitimacy within the global Zoroastrian community and demonstrates adherence to the highest standards of spiritual integrity.
Organizations may be granted recognition at one of three levels.
Complete alignment with AZIIE principles, established community presence, and demonstrated commitment to Zoroastrian education and practice.
Demonstrated commitment to Zoroastrian principles with developing programs or more limited scope of operation.
Organizations in early stages of development or under active evaluation by the Council.
How recognition applications are evaluated.
Complete the application form with details about your organization, its history, and its alignment with Zoroastrian principles.
The Council reviews each application individually, evaluating alignment with Asha, community service, and authentic teaching.
The Council issues a determination: recognition at a specific tier, request for additional information, or explanation of non-recognition.
Recognized organizations are listed in the official AZIIE registry with their tier status and recognition date.
Submit your organization's application for Council review. All applications are treated with confidentiality and evaluated with care.
AZIIE does not apply fixed criteria for recognition. Each organization is evaluated holistically based on its unique circumstances, history, and alignment with Zoroastrian principles. The Council's determination reflects careful deliberation.
