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.

The Semnani Family Foundation focuses primarily on promoting the health, education and disaster relief for marginal communities in the United States and around the world.

The philosophy of the Foundation is guided by a desire to empower the most vulnerable members of society, where ever they may be. We seek to leverage our resources in a cost effective and efficient manner that delivers the maximum benefit to help the most marginal of communities—those who would otherwise be left out, forgotten or neglected, or those who would risk serious and irreversible damage and injury from exposure to natural or man-made disasters such as famine, floods, earthquakes and war.

We partner closely with organizations and individuals with a demonstrated record of delivering significant, sustainable and lasting change in the field. Over the years, the Foundation has worked with the major international and national as well as local charities to advance its mission. Our partners have included the American Red Cross, UNICEF, LDS Humanitarian, Globous Relief, Global Health Alliance, Special Olympics, the American Cancer Society, the Huntsman Cancer Institute, Habitat for Humanity, High Road for Human Rights, Faith Voices for the Common Ground, the League of Women’s voters and others.
