PRESS & RECOGNITION
VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY
What They're Saying
IFOP brought together the sharpest minds in the diaspora under one roof. It was the most substantive conversation about Pakistan's future I have participated in outside of government.
Farrukh Ahmed
Former USAID Pakistan Director
PFF gave me a room full of Pakistani-Americans who took policy seriously. That network changed the trajectory of my career before I even graduated.
Sara Rizvi
IFOP 2025 Delegate · Yale Law
What PFF has built in under two years rivals programs that took decades to establish. The quality of discourse at GP3C was genuinely remarkable.
