Our Mission

No one should lose their vision because they cannot afford care

The Marvasti Foundation

Our mission is

restoring vision

for our community

The Marvasti Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization founded on a simple belief: no one should lose their vision because they cannot afford care.

In Southern California, thousands of individuals live with preventable or treatable eye conditions due to lack of insurance or financial resources. Vision loss affects more than eyesight—it impacts independence, employment, safety, and dignity. Our work is dedicated to restoring sight, reducing barriers to care, and bringing hope to those who feel forgotten or left without options.

Care we help make possible

By working closely with physicians and community partners, we help fund comprehensive eye care for underserved patients, including examinations, medical treatment, and sight-restoring surgical procedures. Each restored vision represents renewed independence, confidence, and connection to the world.

The Marvasti Foundation was inspired, in part, by the memory of my mother, who taught me how to see the world—and how to share its light with others. This work is dedicated to her, and to the belief that compassion, when paired with action, can change lives.
