Noor Charity Organization

What Noor Charity Organization does

Noor Charity Organization (موسسه خیریه نور), legally registered as موسسه خیریه حمایت از بیماران مبتلا به سرطان نور (Noor Cancer Patients Support Charity Institute), is an Iranian non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tehran. Its mission is to provide financial, medical, and psychological support to cancer patients in Iran, particularly those from low-income and underserved regions. The organization has supported over 10,000 cancer patients to date through a multi-channel service model. Core activities include construction, equipping, and completion of specialized cancer treatment centers; direct financial subsidies for medication and treatment costs (with 100% of donations stated to flow to patients); social work and case management; psychological counseling; cancer research and awareness via seminars, brochures, the Changar Noor quarterly journal, educational books, and video tutorials; and residential Noor Accommodation Centers for patients traveling for treatment. Complementary merchandise products (condolence stands, greeting cards, flowers, design boards) are sold via an e-shop to generate additional donations.

The organization operates 11 branch offices across Iran spanning Tehran, Qazvin, Ilam, Fars, Lorestan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Bushehr, Khuzestan, and Hormozgan provinces, supplemented by two hospital-based representative offices in Tehran (Rasool Akram and Lolagar). Strategic partnerships include a contract with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences to build and operate a 285 sqm, 14-bed outpatient chemotherapy department at Shahid Motahari Clinic in Shiraz, and a 147,000 EUR grant agreement with the Embassy of Japan to procure a mammography device for Rudan in Hormozgan province. The organization holds tax exemption status, reportedly rare among Iranian charities, attributable to its stated financial transparency. Its managing director is Houshang Adhami.

Revenue mechanics are donation-centric and undisclosed. Noor derives inflows from individual donors, a recurring monthly Special Supporter Program (Hami-e Khas) that ties donors to specific patients, corporate sponsors including Pars Isotope, Tak Makaron, Talat, Asia Kani Ara, Novin Darou, Sahand, Payvand Company, and Bank Saderat Iran, international institutional grants (Embassy of Japan), and a small e-commerce storefront selling sympathy and celebration merchandise. The organization maintains 1-10 employees and does not disclose annual financial figures.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered major.

• Embassy of Japan (سفارت ژاپن)majorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 December 2025The Embassy of Japan awarded Noor Charity a grant of 147,000 EUR to purchase a mammography device for Rudan county in Hormozgan province. The grant application process took approximately one year. The device was requested due to the high prevalence of breast cancer in the region, the economic situation of the local population, and the lack of awareness about timely screening, as residents had to travel long distances to the provincial capital for mammography services.
• Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شیراز)majorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 15 September 2025Noor Charity entered into a contract with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences to construct, equip, and launch a daycare chemotherapy unit at Motahari Specialized Clinic in Shiraz. The 285 sqm unit features 14 beds. The center was inaugurated on 1404/06/24 in memory of Dr. Gelareh, with the presence of the university president, clinic director, and charity CEO.
