We are a family foundation supporting organizations that work, often unseen, to make daily life more bearable and more dignified for people around the world.
The Tariq & Asma Farid Foundation is a private family foundation based in Atlanta, Georgia, established in 2007 by Tariq and Asma Farid. It supports established organizations working in healthcare, food security, refugee education, disability support, orphan care, and community building in the United States, Pakistan, Jordan, and elsewhere. It does not accept unsolicited funding requests — giving is initiated by the trustees.
Our family's tradition asks for a portion of what we have to be returned to those without. That obligation has, over the years, become indistinguishable from gladness. We give because we were asked to, and because we now want to.
This site exists to be honest about that — and to point, quietly, toward the people doing the actual work.
Programs that make daily life more bearable for people without easy access to care.
Local food systems and emergency response, hand in hand.
Schools that show up where governments and aid can't reach.
Family-centered care, schooling, and vocational training.
Resettlement, interfaith, and the long work of belonging.
Orphan care, school nutrition, and books that travel home.
In memory of Salma Khatoon Farid
