Statement of Aims
The Iran Heritage Foundation is a non-political UK-registered charity founded in 1995, in response to cuts in public funds related to the preservation of the history, languages and cultures of Iran. The objectives of the Foundation are pursued by means of encouraging and supporting research, publication, and diverse activities of cultural or scholarly merit in a variety of related fields. This remit is interpreted generously.
