Michael Saei, the founder and president of First Financial Capital, is actively involved in various community outreach programs through donations that help beneficiaries achieve their worthy causes. In 2019, Michael Saei made a significant contribution to Farhang Foundation, a non-profit that celebrates and promotes Iranian culture and arts.
In 2019, Farhang Foundation raised $1 million and offered it as a gift to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The gift was part of the UCLA Centennial Campaign which aimed to raise $4.2 billion for UCLA’s 100th Anniversary. Farhang Foundation’s contribution was particularly intended to help establish an academic minor program in Iranian music by UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music.
The Herb Alpert School of Music was recently named by Billboard Magazine among the top music business school. Billboard made the list to guide students who plan to pursue a career in the music industry. Billboard also made a diverse list of colleges and universities that offer broader and deeper campus-based music education. This is amidst the possible proliferation of online classes in the coming school year.
