The Fares Foundation is a private, non-profit institution registered under number 117, 15 August 1987, in the Lebanese Ministry of Interior. It acquired “Public Interest Status” through Presidential Decree #5308, 26 June 1994

Fares established the Fares Foundation in order to organize his donations and contributions and ensure their continuity. The Foundation is active in the fields of human and social development in Lebanon. It pays particular attention to underprivileged groups, communities, and regions, and includes programs and services in health, education, humanitarian aid, culture, infrastructure, research, and conferences. A large part of these activities are prepared and implemented by the staff of the Foundation and another part is implemented by other organizations and institutions in cooperation with the Foundation.

In its first years, the Foundation focused on meeting the urgent humanitarian and emergency needs of the Lebanese population. After the war, it started to divert its attention to the support of social, educational, and health institutions, and sustainable development.

The Foundation’s key aim is to participate effectively in human, social, and civic development through programs in health, education, humanitarian aid, culture, infrastructure, research, and conferences.
