The Kurdish Project
About The Kurdish Project
The Kurdish Project represents a community-driven response to the need for authentic Kurdish representation and cultural awareness in San Francisco and beyond. Born from the vision of Kurdish-American entrepreneur Farhad "Fred" Khosravi and the expertise of Media Cause, this cultural-education initiative recognizes that despite increased global attention to Kurdish issues, most Americans still lack meaningful knowledge about Kurdish people and their rich heritage. The project exists to close this critical gap by fostering genuine connections and understanding between Kurds and Western communities.
Rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area's vibrant nonprofit and entrepreneurial ecosystem, The Kurdish Project thrives through authentic partnerships with the Kurdish-American community, local tech innovators, and fellow nonprofit organizations. The initiative goes beyond surface-level awareness to cultivate real understanding through grant-making opportunities, community campaigns, personal storytelling, and accessible news and information. By centering Kurdish voices and experiences, the project empowers both Kurdish community members and those seeking to learn about Kurdistan.
What distinguishes The Kurdish Project is its commitment to relationship-building and bridge-making rather than simply broadcasting information. The organization understands that cultural understanding develops through collaboration, shared narratives, and sustained engagement. Serving the San Francisco community and reaching audiences nationwide, The Kurdish Project continues to celebrate Kurdish culture while creating meaningful opportunities for connection, dialogue, and mutual appreciation across communities.
