Pious Foundation have always had importance and prevalence throughout IRAN history . Although most pious foundations have done by men, studings show the existence pious foundations by woman so that we see woman in argued periods during local and non-local characters tically and masculine history of YAZD that had an effective role in political, social and economical fields especially in pious foundation whose effects have remained strongly until now. The following research that has been done on library studings and data and documents and by descriptive and analytical method, wants to show the importance and spread of woman’s role in pious foundation position in YAZD in specified period of time and answer the following basic questions: In which era, do woman have more participation in pious foundation? What is the social status of woman who were pious founders and what is their motive for pious foundation? Studings show since AL-MOZZAFAR until SAFAVI era royal woman have participated in pious foundation as men have done so. But since SAFAVI era woman from average status have dedicated their wealth with clergy encouragement for preaching SHIA religion and since GHAJAR era this role developed more. It shows woman’s higher status and their financial independence in this period.
