The Ovissi Foundation is dedicated to supporting artists and programs created by individuals of Iranian descent and promoting Iranian art and culture.

We have created two awards to initiate The Ovissi Foundation's giving program. Our vision is to slowly expand our award offerings to artists and programs outside of the United States in the near future.

At this time, our programming is dedicated to artists and non-profit institutions who are U.S. Citizens or whose central headquarters are in the United States, respectfully.
