Patrons of the Iranian Studies Initiative
Ahmad Gramian and Haleh Emrani
“Invested in informed tomorrows”
“The Gramian-Emrani Foundation is committed to a better future through funding scholars and knowledge pioneers”
The Gramian-Emrani Foundation supports scholars and institutions across the US and Europe, from elementary education to post-graduate studies, at a time when educational programs and new research initiatives are often undervalued and underfunded.
