Areas of Focus
Constituencies
Trustees, Council Members, Advisors & Supporters
Iranians, Iranophiles, and Iran Scholars who support the mission of Farhang Foundation and our programs by donating their time, knowledge, and financial support.
Iranian Americans
These are the custodians of one of the richest cultures in the world and benefit from learning more about their art and culture. They are also the individuals who will later be our cultural ambassadors to the community-at-large.
Community-at-large
We feel that Iranian art and culture can contribute positively and should be woven into the multi-colored tapestry of great cultures that comprise America. That’s why our mission at Farhang Foundation is to celebrate and promote Iranian art and culture for the benefit of the community-at-large.
