Since 1972, BAAI has been a non-profit (IRS 501(c)(3), Tax ID 52-1929654) for Bangladeshi expats in D.C., Virginia, and Maryland, promoting unity and heritage through events. It’s non-political, focusing on social connections and preserving values in the diaspora.
They organize picnics, cultural nights, Eid reunions, sports, and conventions. Recent ones include food distributions for people experiencing homelessness, festival booths, and Eid prayers—great for spiritual and fun gatherings.
BAAI eases isolation by building networks, supporting charity, and celebrating traditions, helping D.C. Bangladeshis thrive while giving back locally and internationally.
