About Us

Our Vision

Every day, the Iranian people pay a terrible price for the harmful and destructive policies of the Islamic Republic. Ordinary citizens are deprived of the opportunity to find meaningful work, of the income to provide for their families, of the right to vote, of the sovereignty to hold their government accountable, and of the security to enjoy life.

Recognizing the grave and growing threats posed by a theocracy founded on fear, fraud and force, Omid for Iran is a new initiative launched to support the establishment of a constitutional democracy in Iran.  We are committed to improving the life of ordinary Iranians by serving as a collaborative platform for promoting individual freedom,  empowering civil society and advancing good governance.

As set forth in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to which Iran is a signatory, we reaffirm our faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women regardless of their ethnic, religious, economic or political background and beliefs.  We are committed to defending Iran’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, to restoring Iran’s standing and prestige in the international community, and to promoting friendly relations between Iran and all nations.

Our Mission

Omid for Iran’s mission is to protect and promote the interests of the people of Iran by striving to create the conditions for a better future — a future brimming with hope, opportunity and possibility.

Global Approach

For Iran to leap forward rather than continue to regress backward, the Iranian people must have the opportunity to flourish as global citizens who can contribute to and benefit from an emerging and interdependent global community.

To realize this vision, Omid for Iran will focus on action and collaboration: proposing solutions, securing resources, creating partnerships, building capacity, funding projects and facilitating actions that make a tangible, practical and positive difference in the life of the Iranian people.

We welcome all friends of Iran be they individuals or organizations, to join their hands and hearts to each other and ours to secure a better and brighter future for Iran and the world community.

Identity & Philosophy

Whether it is in Iran, America, Europe, India, China or Africa,  as Iranians we derive our strength and standing from the bonds that unite us, not the breaches that divides us. We have thrived and blossomed by drawing on the treasures that enrich and expand the human spirit.

Our values and vision are a reflection of the enduring power and boundless potential of all the world’s great civilizations and peoples. Our lives are not defined by a clash of civilizations and cultures but by the recognition and celebration of our shared humanity.
