Al Anwar Al Najafyia Foundation is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, established in 2018 under the guidance of Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Bashir Al-Najafi (may Allah bless his life). With a heart full of compassion and a vision for progress, the foundation is dedicated to uplifting Shia Muslim communities in Iraq and beyond.
Rooted in the values of love, unity, and service, we strive to create brighter futures by investing in essential areas that matter most. Whether it's offering religious and secular education, improving access to healthcare, supporting economic growth, or providing life-saving relief during times of crisis—Al Anwar Al Najafyia Foundation is here to serve.
Our work is not just about addressing immediate needs; it’s about building hope, resilience, and opportunity for generations to come. Every step we take is driven by a deep sense of responsibility and a genuine desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we are privileged to support.
Together, we can continue to light the way for a better tomorrow.
“Guided by the principles of Islam, we are committed to supporting orphans and their families through acts of mercy and generosity. Our mission is to provide essential care, education, and opportunities, uplifting their lives in the spirit of compassion. With faith as our foundation, we seek to fulfill our responsibility to care for those in need, offering hope and dignity to every child and family we serve.”
For decades, the Marjaiyyat has remained a steadfast pillar of support for Shia Muslim communities around the world, working tirelessly to uplift and empower them. Even under the shadow of oppressive regimes, the Maraje courageously found discreet ways to assist and guide their followers. With the fall of tyranny, a new era began—one that allowed the Marjaiyyat to establish a more visible and impactful presence.
In August 2003, under the esteemed leadership of Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Bashir Al-Najafy (may Allah prolong his life), the Al Anwar Al Najafyia Foundation was founded. This foundation emerged with a clear and noble vision: to transparently and professionally enrich the lives of Shia Muslims, fostering a stronger, more resilient community deeply rooted in the values of the Ahlulbayt (a.s.). Since its inception, and with the unwavering support of countless donors and partners, we have been able to extend relief, provide aid, and bring positive change to the lives of many.
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our generous supporters, partners, and well-wishers. Your contributions have been invaluable in making this vision a reality. This foundation is not a private project—it belongs to the entire community. We welcome your participation, ideas, and feedback, and we hold your involvement in the highest regard. I firmly believe that when we unite our efforts and pool our expertise, we can achieve our shared goal of better serving and uplifting the Shia community.
