The Kabani Foundation Launch Event
In Support of HeadFirst Mental Health Initiative
On Thursday, April 25, 2024, we celebrated the launch of The Kabani Foundation with an event supporting a local nonprofit, the Headfirst Mental Health Initiative (HMHI). Proceeds from our inaugural event, including raffle ticket sales and auction items, went toward funding additional counseling sessions for those in need.
Attendees were invited to indulge in complimentary hors d'oeuvres and beverages while enjoying the breathtaking scenery of private jets coordinated by Million Air Dallas, accompanied by a display of luxury vehicles provided by Avondale dealership.
None of this would have been possible without the amazing support from HeadFirst Mental Health Initiative, Million Air Dallas, and our supporting partner, 360to180.
Our Impact
Almost $50,000 raised for the HeadFirst Mental Health Initiative, aiding their mission to provide mental health treatment to those in need.

Aga Khan Museum's Rumi Exhibition
Supporting the Arts
The Kabani Foundation supported the Aga Khan Museum's exhibition, Rumi. The exhibition invited visitors to journey through the life and timeless legacy of Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi (d. 1273), known as Rumi, celebrating one of history’s most famous poets, on the 750th anniversary of his passing. His enduring impact was shared through an examination of artifacts, manuscripts, and contemporary art.
Rumi took visitors on a visual voyage through his early life in Central Asia, his experiences with displacement and migration, and his transformation into one of the most important mystical poets of the Persian-Islamic tradition. With our support, the museum was able to engage audiences with programming, tours, and events that brought Rumi’s work to life. From summer camps and Family Sundays to insightful lectures featuring artists, curators, and scholars, the Rumi exhibition was a catalyst for learning and dialogue.
Our Impact
58,567 total visitors
Over 4,500 school-aged children took part in tours and Rumi inspired workshops and programs
90% of visitors rated their experience at the exhibition as good or excellent
93% of visitors gained an appreciation of Rumi’s legacy and global impact from the exhibition
The Rumi exhibition was the star of the show. You’re taken through Rumi’s life and work and how his work has influenced modern society... You learn so much about different cultures and their movement throughout history. The depth of historical context is unmatched and worth the experience.

The Aga Khan Museum Lunch
Supporting the Arts
On July 29, 2023, The Kabani Foundation held a luncheon to raise money for the Aga Khan Museum at the Nasher Sculpture Center. Proceeds from this lunch supported the Museum's programming, including events, festivals, exhibitions, and special presentations. This support ultimately helped the Museum to act as a catalyst for mutual understanding and tolerance between cultures, to be a centre of education and learning, and to foster a greater appreciation of the contributions that Muslim arts and culture has made to world heritage.
