Welcome to Semnani Family Foundation

Our goal is to do our share in helping the world in which we live a better place for everyone. Over the years, we have derived great joy from witnessing the ways in which people can transform their lives. No matter what the odds and how remote the possibilities, there are no limits to what we can do together. The opportunities for collaboration and contribution to communities around the world are as boundless as the human spirit. At the Semnani Family Foundation, we have decided to focus our giving where we can make the most difference. Our primary focus has been on helping marginal, vulnerable and endangered communities whose survival and security is at grave risk or in immediate danger, usually due to forces and factors beyond their control. Whether it is helping communities recover from disease, famine, earthquakes or wars, or promoting medical research, educational and civic initiatives, what excites and engages us is tipping the balance of life in favor of the underdog. Finally, given our strong ties to Utah, we are committed to helping our state and its people flourish. On behalf of our family and staff, we thank you for support and interest in our work.
