    About Aibtikar Foundation

    Aibtikar Foundation directs modest but focused funding to organizations serving vulnerable children and young women—particularly those affected by trauma, trafficking, foster care transitions, or developmental disabilities. They favor program and general support for service providers that deliver wrap‑around supports (therapy, housing, transportation, education/employment help) both domestically and in conflict-affected areas. Repeated support for several grantees suggests relationship-driven giving to mission-aligned providers rather than one-off gifts.

    About Aibtikar Foundation

    Aibtikar Foundation’s recent giving shows a clear preference for trauma-informed services that help children and young women stabilize, heal, and move forward. One of its largest grants supported Jonathan's Place in Garland, Texas, with funds split between general purposes, beneficiary outings, and an employee bonus. Another significant line of support went to Iraqi Children Foundation for the Center for Adolescent Girls in Mosul, where girls who have experienced trauma can receive therapy and work on their physical and emotional health. The foundation has also backed programs for girls at risk of trafficking, children aging out of foster care, and people with Down syndrome, pairing direct service with evaluation and program support. The pattern is not limited to one issue area. Across the recent grant list, Aibtikar Foundation supported shelters, youth resource centers, respite care, and mental health groups, suggesting an interest in organizations that provide practical wrap-around help rather than narrow project funding. Its giving includes general-purpose awards as well as grants tied to specific programs and studies, including support for the National Down Syndrome Society’s 321 go! program. Repeated support for some groups points to an ongoing relationship with mission-aligned providers.

    What Aibtikar Foundation Funds

    In anti-trafficking work, the foundation gave $11,000 to New Friends New Life for the Youth Resource Center, which empowers girls who have been trafficked or are at risk of being trafficked. A separate grant of $10,500 to the same organization supported the same center and its wrap-around mental health services. For trauma recovery, Aibtikar Foundation awarded $22,500 to Iraqi Children Foundation for the Center for Adolescent Girls in Mosul, described as a safe place where girls who have experienced trauma can receive therapy and improve their physical and emotional health. It also provided $7,500 to support the center for girls in Mosul. In disability-related grantmaking, the foundation funded a study of the National Down Syndrome Society’s 321 go! program with a $22,816 grant. The program is used to encourage physical activity for people with Down syndrome. The foundation also supported housing and stabilization services with a $12,500 grant to Roots Wings NJ for general purposes.
