​How We Grant

​The Unique Zan Foundation is for the unique women throughout the world! It is about lending a hand to each other and promoting compassion and social change by enhancing the lives of women.

Any non-profit organization (501(c)3) seeking funding, whose work corresponds with our mission, is welcome to send us a letter of inquiry to info@uniquezanfoundation.org. Please take a look at our pending and ongoing projects before contacting us. Organizations that work in our geographic areas of interest are especially encouraged to apply. Unfortunately, Unique Zan Foundation is not able to fund individual projects.

Our Work

We have a number of current and pending projects through other non-profit organizations and educational institutions. All of these projects contribute to advancing the status and care of women in or from West Asia, as well as promoting understanding of West Asian and Muslim communities. Further, our partners work directly in the communities served in order to identify needs and maximize community involvement and support.


We also provide small grants to promote both women’s health and Iranian cultural activities in our own Bay Area community.
