Nikou Mohajerani Gives Back

Nikou Mohajerani has always been committed to being a socially responsible individual and as such has made it a priority to build philanthropy into her daily routine as well as into her business. On the personal side, Nikou has been involved in several non-profit endeavors through the years by volunteering her time and making personal donations.

Nikou volunteers with at risk youth as a mentor through high schools and community centers in her community. By advocating for them, setting a good example, and encouraging them to reach for excellence and stability, Nikou has changed the lives of many young people. This is one of the organizations closest to her heart because she believes in the potential of our younger generations. They will be the advocates of diversity, equality, and environmental awareness.

Nikou is also an active volunteer in a local convalescent home. She visits the residents, spends time hearing their stories, and supports them by being a reliable friend.

Perhaps the most important cause to Nikou is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She explained why this particular charitable cause is so close to her heart, “My father died of lymphoma and so I know firsthand the pain this kind of disease can cause people. A lot of other families have experienced the same loss. I want to save people that heartache and stress by giving back to the research for a cure.”


Her passion for this cause extends beyond her personal life. Nikou Mohajerani encourages her team at The Vantage Co to get involved as well, and has arranged for the group to raise funds to support cancer research. On one occasion, the team sold pink socks at a popular theme park to raise funds for cancer research. At a second event in Miami, her team raised $5,000 to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by selling beaded necklaces with the logos and colors of the home team at a football game.

  1. Putting the success of your team before your own is truly selfless and so not Smart Circle. Bucking the trend earns you big points in my book. Keep up the good work.
