The Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs (Persian: بنیاد شهید و امور ایثارگران Bonyad Shahid va Omur-e Ithargaran) is an Iranian foundation that receives its funding directly from the national budget. Saeed Ohadi is the current director of the organization. The Foundation gives home loans to disabled veterans and to the families of soldiers killed in acton, who in Iran are considered martyrs (shaheedan). It has reportedly loaned 120 million rials to urban families and 150 million rials to rural families.[1] The Foundation is also involved in numerous economic endeavors, much like the Mostazafen Foundation of Islamic Revolution.[2]
