Programs & Initiatives


The Haider Foundation is committed to building stronger communities through hands-on programs and meaningful initiatives that directly impact lives. What began as a local effort in Dearborn, Michigan has now expanded to reach underserved populations across all 50 states, bringing hope, dignity, and opportunity to individuals and families in need.

Our initiatives are designed to tackle real challenges faced by communities every day. From providing food security for struggling families to offering mentorship and scholarships for young people, the foundation ensures that resources are accessible to those who need them most. We also invest in workforce development, helping unemployed individuals gain the training and connections they need to secure stable jobs and create long-term stability.

Beyond immediate aid, The Haider Foundation organizes charitable drives, fundraising campaigns, and partnerships with local and national organizations. These collaborative efforts amplify our ability to deliver lasting impact — whether through community outreach, disaster relief, or programs that encourage economic independence.

At its core, every program reflects the foundation’s belief in compassion, dignity, and empowerment. By combining short-term assistance with long-term opportunities, The Haider Foundation’s initiatives continue to uplift communities and create a stronger, more united future for people across the nation.

A Message from the Chairman

“When I founded The Haider Foundation, it came from a deeply personal place. I’ve seen how powerful it is when people come together to create meaningful change — and I knew I wanted to be a part of that change. This foundation represents a second chance, not just for the communities we serve, but for myself as a leader committed to doing better and being better. My name is Marwan Haider, and I’m proud to lead a mission focused on impact, inclusion, and service.”

Leadership & Values

Scholarships & Financial Assistance

Education opens doors, but financial barriers often hold students back. That’s why The Haider Foundation offers scholarships and financial aid programs to help deserving students pursue higher education without the burden of overwhelming costs. These opportunities are designed to reward hard work, potential, and commitment to community service.

Mentorship & Leadership Development

We believe learning goes beyond the classroom. Our mentorship programs pair young people with experienced professionals and community leaders who can guide, encourage, and inspire them. Through leadership workshops, career counseling, and skill-building activities, we help youth develop the confidence and discipline needed to achieve their goals.

After-School & Enrichment Programs

Many young people face challenges outside of school that affect their learning. Our after-school initiatives provide safe spaces where students can access tutoring, technology, and enrichment activities that keep them engaged and motivated. These programs not only support academic achievement but also foster creativity, teamwork, and resilience.
