Mona Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports grassroots initiatives focused on education and raising the status of women and girls in the US and abroad. They believe that universal education and gender equity are the cornerstones of the eradication of poverty, disease, and conflict.
Mona Foundation is named after Mona Mahmudnizhad, an Iranian high school student who was executed in 1983 for her religious beliefs, in the Baháʼí Faith, and teaching of children classes.
Founded in 1999, Mona Foundation supports grassroots initiatives that provide education to all children, increase opportunities for women and girls, and emphasize serve e to the community. The Mona Foundation believes the key to eliminating poverty and achieving positive and sustained community transformation lies in universal education and gender equality. Mona Foundation searches the world to identify partners who share these two priorities.




Operations


Many foundations are seed funders, supporting projects that have a beginning and an end. Instead, Mona Foundation develops long-term relationships with locally operated organizations and provides multi-year funding (six years on average).

Mona provides continuous communication, trust, and involvement. They don't tell us what to do. The say, 'Tell us your problems and how we can help.' Then they work alongside us. Because of their long-term commitment and thoughtful funding, our work has reached more than 40,000 students and teachers. This has happened only because of Mona's support.
