Qatar Foundation International (QFI), LLC, is a U.S.-based member of Qatar Foundation (QF). Its mission is dedicated to connecting cultures and advancing global citizenship through education. QFI is an organization in Washington, D.C., focused on grant-giving and programmatic activities that promote education as a force that facilitates collaboration across geographical, social, and cultural boundaries.

QFI implements its mission through innovative educational and volunteer programs, which inspire lasting exchanges of experience and knowledge. By placing young people from diverse social, economic, and cultural backgrounds into effective, collaborative, and global learning environments — inside and outside the classroom, in-person and online -- QFI is committed to providing K-12 students in Qatar and the Americas the skills that will enable them to be engaged, global citizens. Within our core program areas of Arabic Language and Culture, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math), and Youth Engagement, we endeavor to explicitly link learning activities to the major global challenges of the 21st century that affect us all, such as climate change, access to education, and cross-cultural dialogue. We also strive to provide them with innovative tools, such as open education resources and innovative online technologies, that will help them meet these challenges both globally and in their own communities.
