OUR 501(C)(3) MISSION

Azgari Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entrepreneurship-education and workforce-development organization serving out-of-school youth, aging-out foster youth, justice-involved young adults, and low-income veterans. Our current program delivers a 24-week online entrepreneurship education curriculum with scholarship support. As funding permits, the Foundation is developing transitional-housing programs that pair residential stability with basic-needs support, training stipends, and post-program job-placement and micro-enterprise seed grants — to expand economic mobility and create jobs in underserved communities.
