Fondation Omar IBN Abdelaziz

Fondation Omar IBN Abdelaziz, doing business as Foia, is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since March 22, 2019, with a focus on educational and cultural programming. The organization appears to be primarily engaged with the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, a diplomatic arm of the U.S. State Department that supports international cultural exchange and educational initiatives. While limited information is available about the organization's specific background, its federal grant awards suggest it operates in an international context, potentially in Morocco, where it manages American cultural spaces and educational programming.

The organization has received multiple project grants from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, specifically focused on supporting American Spaces and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) programming. Its federal grant awards from 2021 to 2025 demonstrate a consistent commitment to enhancing educational facilities and technological learning environments. Specific grant projects have included supporting the Oujda American Space's STEAM programming, establishing a maker space, and improving facility infrastructure to create a professional and welcoming venue that advances U.S. foreign policy objectives. The grants range from supporting annual programming to facility improvements, with award amounts and precise scopes varying by fiscal year. Each grant has been a project-based award with specific completion timelines, typically spanning one to two years and focusing on educational and cultural exchange initiatives.
