About The Kurdish Project

The Kurdish Project is a cultural-education initiative based in San Francisco, CA dedicated to bridging understanding between Kurdish communities and Western audiences. Through grant-making, strategic campaigns, storytelling, and comprehensive information resources, the organization works to elevate awareness and knowledge of Kurdish people, culture, and heritage. The project leverages digital platforms and news distribution to reach audiences seeking to learn about Kurdistan and connect with Kurdish perspectives.

Founded through collaboration between Kurdish-American entrepreneur Farhad "Fred" Khosravi and Media Cause, a nonprofit digital agency, The Kurdish Project operates at the intersection of cultural advocacy and community engagement. The initiative addresses a significant knowledge gap in American understanding of Kurdish people by serving as a gateway for discovery and connection. Working in partnership with the Kurdish-American community, Bay Area tech entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations throughout the San Francisco region, The Kurdish Project develops and implements programs that share authentic stories and insights from the region.

The organization's approach combines educational content, grant opportunities, and collaborative campaigns to cultivate deeper understanding of Kurdish culture and people. By focusing on storytelling and information-sharing, The Kurdish Project creates pathways for meaningful cross-cultural dialogue and appreciation. Whether through digital media, community partnerships, or cultural initiatives, the organization remains committed to expanding Western awareness of Kurdish heritage and contemporary Kurdish communities.
