Mowafaghian Foundation

For over two decades, the Foundation has supported many institutions and charities across Canada through both provisional assistance and longstanding commitments. Its broad mandate gives it the flexibility to respond to evolving needs in society — whether it be purchasing vital medical equipment, backing under-resourced educational programs, supporting legal advocacy organizations, or advancing innovative health research.

Guided by three generations of family leadership and a dedicated professional team, the Foundation remains driven by a deep commitment to fostering meaningful and positive change.

The Centre’s mandate – to bring together the best in research and care under one roof – is being realized every day. It can be seen in the groundbreaking research, the clinics where patients come to receive top-of-the-line care, and in the collaborations that bring together scientists and clinicians to advance the search for cures to devastating brain diseases.

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.
