About Royal Foundation

Our story, mission, governance, and the people behind the work.

Our Legacy

From family tradition to a formal public trust

Royal Foundation traces its roots to a long-standing tradition of community welfare associated with the region's royal family, whose public duties historically included supporting schools, temples, and village infrastructure across the erstwhile Bushahr estate.

In 1998, that informal legacy was formalized into a registered public charitable trust, allowing the work to scale, professionalize, and be held accountable to modern standards of transparency and governance — while staying true to its founding spirit of service.
