About Us

The Near East Cultural and Educational Foundation of Canada (NECEF) was founded in 1984.  NECEF is a volunteer based organization that operates on two broad defining objectives: to promote a greater understanding of history, culture and contemporary situation in the Middle East, focusing on the Arab World; and, to fund humanitarian, educational, development and health related projects in the region.

To fulfill its objectives and support public educational activities, NECEF publishes an annual report, organizes speaking tours and public lectures; and, co-sponsors a variety of events such as film showings and artistic displays.

Since its inception, NECEF has achieved charitable status from Revenue Canada and has managed projects worth over $1 million. These projects have included regional studies of Arabs and high school curricular coverage of the Arab World.
