The US-AZ Cultural Foundation (USAZCF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is preparing for a pivotal trip to the international children’s and youth film festival “Salam” (IYFF) in the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Nurit Greenger, the foundation’s president, will attend the festival from Aug. 26-29 to lay the groundwork for future participation by American youth and their guardians. The foundation is seeking sponsorships to support this crucial preparatory visit.

Nariman Mammadov, founder and CEO of the “Salam” festival, initiated the event in 2019 to foster cultural exchange and artistic appreciation among youth. The festival has rapidly grown in prestige and participation, drawing young attendees from more than 13 countries.

The objectives of this year’s visit by USAZCF staff include meeting key organizers, scouting accommodations, evaluating local amenities, and planning potential tours and activities for next year’s attendees.

The foundation is actively seeking sponsors to fund this preparatory visit. Sponsorship contributions will cover travel, accommodation and logistical expenses. In return, sponsors will receive prominent recognition and media coverage.
