Free Yezidi Foundation USA Incorporated

Free Yezidi Foundation USA Incorporated is a New York-based non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov as a corporate entity with tax-exempt status. Located at 60 E 42nd St in New York, the organization focuses on humanitarian and justice-oriented work specifically related to the Yezidi population, particularly those impacted by conflict in Iraq. While specific details about its founding and complete mission are not provided in the available documentation, the organization appears dedicated to supporting Yezidi communities through strategic legal, educational, and human rights initiatives.

The organization has received federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, primarily supporting projects focused on human rights accountability and educational development. Its recent grants include a $800,000 Yezidi Strategic Litigation Initiative project aimed at investigating human rights abuses, documenting genocide, and promoting accountability for crimes against humanity committed against Yezidis in Iraq. Another grant supports English language skills development for internally displaced people aged 13-16 in the Shekhan region. The Free Yezidi Foundation also collaborates with international partners through sub-grant awards, such as working with Stichting "Global Rights Compliance Foundation" on a project targeting the identification and prosecution of ISIS perpetrators. These grants demonstrate the organization's commitment to providing legal support, educational programming, and justice-seeking activities for Yezidi communities affected by conflict.
