The charity signed an MoU with Astan Quds Razavi in 2020 and one with Imam Khomeini Relief Fund (IKRF) in 2016 in which Etrat Fatemi agreed to take over the obligations of IKRF with regards to the 1,500 Sadat orphans seeking aid from the organization. According to public records from the Majles, Etrat Fatemi was also involved in importing automobiles and wanted to use a Pahlavi-era customs law that exempts charities from paying customs tax and fees. Mohsen Rafiqdoust is a member of its board of directors. Past and present board members include Seyyed Reza Nayeri, Zahra-Sadat Nayeri, Mostafa Morsali, and Ebrahim Asgarian Damavandi.https://tehranbureau.com/irandatacheck/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/sam-moqadam-baII27W6z7k-unsplash-scaled.jpg25601251
