The Foundation for Iranian Studies is an American non-profit institution founded in 1981 in Washington DC, and later moved to Maryland, dedicated to educating the public about Iran/Persia.[1] Since 1982 they host an oral history program.[1]

The mission is to preserve, study, and transmit Persian/Iranian cultural heritage; to study contemporary issues in Iranian government and society; and to point to the probable social, economic, political, and military directions Iran might take in the 21st century. The foundation was founded with the support of Princess Ashraf Pahlavi. It has organized various Persian cultural events with cooperation of American universities, museums and academic institutions in the United States, including Georgetown University, National Museum of Asian Art, Society of Iranian Studies, Pacific Museum, Middle East Studies Association, and others.
