ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
Asad Education Forward Foundation is being built as a nonprofit public charity that connects students with the people, resources, technology, mentorship, and financial assistance they need to succeed in school and beyond.
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
A future in which a student's educational opportunities are not limited by family income or access to resources.
WHO WE ARE
Our first objective is not to become a large organization quickly. It is to run a focused program that produces real educational benefits, then grow what works. We start where students are: Afghanistan and California, with the aim of expanding nationally.
We do not replace schools. We complement them by providing support outside the traditional classroom, working alongside teachers, libraries, universities, and community organizations.
Our combination of tutoring, mentorship, technology, scholarships, and career preparation is what sets us apart. We want to support the whole student, not just one need.
HOW WE WORK
The foundation connects the people who make educational opportunity possible.
Receive tutoring, mentorship, technology, scholarships, and guidance.
Contribute expertise, lesson resources, and program quality.
Give time and skills as tutors, mentors, translators, and event helpers.
Provide the financial resources that keep programs free or low-cost.
Schools and community organizations give us access to students and local knowledge.
OUR VALUES
These seven values guide every program, partnership, and funding decision.
GOVERNANCE & TRUST
Because we work with children and charitable funds, accountability is part of the design.
A board with a mix of skills: education, finance, law, accounting, technology, fundraising, business, and community development. Clear policies cover conflicts of interest, financial approval, expense reimbursement, related-party transactions, record keeping, complaints, and whistleblowers.
Background screening where appropriate, clear boundaries between adults and students, rules for online communication, transportation, photography, and personal information, and a defined process for reporting concerns and handling emergencies.
Nonprofit finances kept completely separate from personal finances, documented financial controls, appropriate insurance, and diversified funding so no single donor controls our direction.
PARTNERSHIPS
HOW WE'RE ORGANIZED
We begin with a small structure and add staff only as programs and funding grow.
