The Iran Heritage Foundation (IHF)
The Iran Heritage Foundation, London, UK
Self description: "The Iran Heritage Foundation is a non-political UK registered charity founded in 1995, with the mission to increase awareness about, promote and preserve the history, languages and cultures of Iran. The objectives of the Foundation are pursued by means of organising and supporting research, publication of books, establishment of fellowships at major academic institutions and diverse activities of cultural or scholarly merit in a variety of related fields, on a worldwide basis. The Foundation interprets its remit generously and initiates a wide range of programmes intended to provide a forum to facilitate the study of Iran's culture both among students and the wider academic community. This is supplemented by a series of multi-disciplinary events that present all aspects of Persian culture (ancient and modern) to the public at large. [...] Though only active since 1995, the Foundation has grown rapidly to establish itself on an international level by supporting programmes in Armenia, Austria, Canada, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the United States, the United Kingdom and Iran."
