Who We Are
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
~ Margaret Mead
What We Do
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
~ Dalai Lama
Why We Serve
I alone cannot change the World, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.
~ Mother Theresa
What We Fund
I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits.
~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Beaty Biodiversity Museum
Support from The Djavad Mowafaghian Foundation enhanced the Beaty Biodiversity Museum’s capacity for public education and community outreach. Each year, UBC’s research community, students and thousands of visitors interact with the museum’s unique exhibits and peerless collections.
The Beaty Biodiversity Museum teaches our children the wonders and fragility of many of the species with whom we share the Earth.
