Tips for Applicants

This foundation operates its own classes rather than providing grants to external organisations. Those interested should consider making donations, volunteering as teachers, or inquiring about partnership opportunities to support their art preservation mission.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation provides direct charitable patronage to preserve dying art forms by offering free classes and workshops. It values accessibility, inclusivity, and the transmission of traditional artistic techniques to ensure their survival for future generations.
