Shack15 Art Prize is a brand new award for the artists of San Francisco Bay Area

Shack15 Art Prize is a brand new award for the artists of San Francisco Bay Area, a collaboration between Shack15 and We♥️SF communities, with support from Art Bae.

Our mission is to make space, for artists, for experimentation, and for the kind of work that changes how a city sees itself.

We believe supporting artists is a civic act: not charity, not a trend, but a deliberate contribution to the cultural and emotional life of San Francisco.

Through the Art Prize, we are building infrastructure for imagination—starting with seven artists and an open invitation that If you believe art belongs at the heart of civic life, this mission is yours, too.

The City of Gouesnou is building a memorial in tribute to the American Heroes who fell on its territory during the summer of 1944.

The City of Gouesnou is located in Brittany, in the far Western France. In the vicinity of Brest, a port city whose harbour was at the time one of the most important in the country, our city particularly suffered during World War II. On August 7, 1944, the first day of the siege of Brest by the Eighth Army, 43 innocent people were murdered by German troops in the hamlet of Penguérec : this was the largest massacre of civilians perpetrated in Brittany during the War.

During the following days and until the beginning of September 1944, probably more than 210 G.Is belonging to the 2nd and 8th Infantry Divisions of the US Army fell in Gouesnou, in particular during the battles of Bourgneuf-Fourneuf and Kergroas.

**Every year, the City of Gouesnou honor hero soldiers and civilian victims, because here in Gouesnou, we consider that it is our duty to remember the past for the sake of history and transmission, particularly to the youngest generation.** So, the elected officials and residents of Gouesnou, in close collaboration with various associations, the local university and schools, strive to maintain and make accessible to as many people as possible the history of the Second World War, its victims and in particular the soldiers who fought to the point, for some, of losing their lives.

In order to make sure that we never forget and to avoid the recurrence of past tragedies, the City of Gouesnou has been multiplying initiatives : annual tributes to soldiers and victims, financing of historical research, organization of commemorative events for the general public, publication of a comic book.

**In 2025, the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, the City of Gouesnou and the local Association Les Amis du Patrimoine has decided to show, in an even stronger way, its respect and gratefulness towards the American soldiers who fell during the summer of 1944 for its Liberation and that of all of France.** Our project which got started last January, involves building a memorial in their honor, representing a life-size G.I., sitting on blocks of stone, holding his rifle in his hands. Behind him stands a monumental doorway symbolizing freedom and transition, the passage from darkness to light, the heavy sacrifice of these men who came from across the Atlantic to drive out the enemy and help us regain our Freedom. This monument will honor the memory of each of these men and will offer their families a true place where to recollect.

**We would like to inscribe the names of all the soldiers who fell in Gouesnou on this memorial. For that purpose we continue to study, with historians, academics and volunteers, all available archives.** We are also fortunate in being helped in our work by members of The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Fourndation, a contact made thanks to the American Society of Le Souvenir Français.

The inauguration of the Gouesnou's US Memorial is planned for next November. On this very special day, we hope to see the presence of the soldiers' families, as well as all those who contributed to its achievement.

The City of Gouesnou, Les Amis du Patrimoine and all their partners are proud to presented to the American public as part of a crowdfunding campaign whose purpose it is to supplement the funds provided by the City and French donors. **We would consider it as a great honor if you accepted to support our project (budget : $ 300 000) as it would certainly help us achieve our goal of building a memorial worthy of the American heroes who fell in Gouesnou, back in 1944, fighting for our Freedom.**

AFMM raises awareness among Americans and provides financial support, on a tax-deductible basis, for the Musée de Montmartre.

HistoryThe Musée de Montmartre is located in old houses on the Butte (hill of Montmartre). These residences, surrounded by gardens, housed the workshops and ateliers of numerous artists such as Auguste Renoir, Émile Bernard, Raoul Dufy, Charles Camoin, Suzanne Valadon and Maurice Utrillo. The permanent collection includes paintings, posters and drawings signed by Toulouse-Lautrec, Modigliani, Kupka, Steinlen, Valadon, and Utrillo. Together, the artworks recount the history of Montmartre, including the innovative studios at Bateau-Lavoir and 12 rue Cortot and the infamous animated cabarets of the Lapin Agile and the Moulin Rouge. The Museum includes an entire room dedicated to the French Cancan, while another features rare zinc plates of dreamlike scenes from shadow theatre such as Le Chat Noir, the first modern cabaret founded by Rodolphe Salis in 1881.  The collection was made possible by the History and Archeology Society “Le Vieux Montmartre,” which itself dates back to 1886.  The permanent collection presented will immerse you in the history of Montmartre and reveal its rich culture. The Musée de Montmartre was founded in 1960 and dates one of its buildings to the seventeenth century.  This building is the Bel Air House and is the oldest building in Montmartre.  During its heyday, 12 rue Cortot served as a residence and meeting place for many artists including Auguste Renoir, Suzanne Valadon and Émile Bernard, who held their studios here, as well as the fauve artists Emile Othon Friesz and Raoul Dufy.The Musée's attendees relive Montmartre's celebrated history through the eyes of Suzanne Valadon during the Musée's immersive media show. Attendees rediscover the atmosphere that dominated the winding streets of the Butte and the famous names that roamed them.  Valadon's humble origins, artistic training, contacts and success make her the perfect guide to introduce the visit and recount the history of Montmartre: she is an allegory of the Butte during its effervescence.  In July 2011, the Kléber-Rossillon Company took over the management of the Musée de Montmartre. It launched an ambitious program that expanded and restored the site. Exhibition space was doubled, the studio-apartment of the artists Suzanne Valadon and Maurice Utrillo was renovated, and the three gardens that inspired Renoir’s paintings were brought to their former glory.  Artists started to move to Montmartre in 1870 and the cafes and cabarets multiplied in the 1880’s. What quickly came to characterize Montmartre in the eyes of everyone was this effervescent bohemian spirit, a creative energy.  In 1912 Suzanne Valadon, Maurice Utrillo and André Utter settled into their atelier-apartment and left a symbolic trace at 12 Cortot. The spirit of the infernal trio has been restored: the frying pan can be found in its place, the mezzanine was rebuilt in the studio, and the walls of Utrillo’s bedroom still have their original panelling and barbed wire on the windows.  To give life to this reconstruction, the company Kléber Rossillon called upon the designer Hubert Le Gall, scenographer who has worked with renowned institutions (e.g., Musée d'Orsay, Musée de l'Orangerie, Jacquemart- André). Hubert Le Gall was able to recreate the atelier-apartment, faithful to the letters and writings of the time and as portrayed in historical photographs - an ode and celebration of the past.Three gardens dedicated to Auguste Renoir surround the Musée de Montmartre. They are named in memory of the impressionist painter who lived on-site between 1875 and 1877, where he painted several masterpieces including the famous le Bal du Moulin de la Galette (“The Moulin de la Galette Ball”), La Balancoire (“The Swing”), and Jardin de la rue Cortot (“Rue Cortot Garden”). The Renoir Gardens offer breathtaking views of the vineyard, the Clos Montmartre, and northern cityscape of Paris.  The Musée de Montmartre captures the excitement of a time at the turn of the century (the Fin de Siècle) in a neighborhood where artists, musicians, poets, and friends gathered and created.  This time gave birth to modern art, pushing against the boundaries of the time.  The Musée de Montmartre is rooted in history.  The American Friends of Musée de Montmartre celebrate this time and very special place.

The Sursock Museum is the first modern and contemporary art institution in Lebanon.


HISTORY
The Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock Museum is the first modern and contemporary art museum in the Arab world. It opened officially its doors in 1961 thanks to a bequest of Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock, a philanthropist and a collector, who donated to the Lebanese citizens his Ottoman-Venetian style villa, built in 1912, and art collection. The Museum survived the turmoil in Beirut and has been open to the public for the last six decades with few interruptions.
Throughout its history, it lived through many tribulations. The various armed conflicts and tensions in Lebanon left quite a few scars. Healing has been long and arduous. 

Today, we are grateful for being able to celebrate the recovery of our cherished institution.
Soon after the Beirut blast on August 4, 2020, we started the rehabilitation of the museum, without the assurance that we would secure all the necessary funds. 
The solidarity of volunteers, local and international institutions as well as individual friends, enabled us to reopen in May 2023.
We are so pleased to give the Sursock Museum back to the Lebanese and to the
international friends of Lebanon. 
Increasing numbers of visitors and participants in our diverse activities are a source of energy and renewed dynamism.  
During the different phases of its history, it strived to be faithful to its calling: an inclusive space of encounter, education, innovation and cooperation. More concentrated efforts are ahead of us. 

The museum's new programming wants to engage with a diverse and wider public today. With its exhibition spaces, public library, auditorium, the Sursock Museum will continue to be a safe space for cultural dialogue, critical thinking and free expression. It is a platform for continuous learning, formative of future generations of art and cultural professionals, and we will continue to do so without compromising on quality, in dialogue at eye-level with international institutions.

GOVERNANCE
Following the will of Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock, the Nicolas Ibrahim Sursock Museum with its building and art collection, was constituted in the form of a Waqf on 14 January 1953.
(The Waqf is not too dissimilar to the western legal form of Trust or Foundation). The role of custodian of the Waqf, the mutawali, was assigned to the president of the municipality of Beirut, regardless of which political regime exists at the time.


OUR CHALLENGES
Before the crisis, the museum's activities were mostly financed by a tax on building permits levied by the Beirut Municipality. It now covers less than 2 per cent of our expenses. 

This is our new challenge: financing this vital institution to survive amid complete financial collapse. With our board of trustees, our circle of friends and future supporters, will do so while still offering free access to art.

We cannot overstate the significance of your engagement with the Sursock Museum. Your support is vital. 
Today, supporting the museum is not an act of charity, it is an act of necessity!
Your support is vital.

Supporting collaborative artwork initiated by sculptor Prune Nourry to raise awareness and empower underrepresented communities. 

Catharsis Arts Foundation is a non-profit initiated by the sculptor Prune Nourry that supports collaborative artistic creation and enables art to have a long term, positive impact on the women, artists, artisans, and communities who contribute to and inspire the artwork’s creation.

The Foundation encourages the making of artworks with and by underrepresented communities, enabling them to tell their stories. The collective art installations then tour around the world to raise awareness before returning to their country of origin and funding their preservation, as well as educational and artistic programs for the local communities.

The foundation is inspired by Prune Nourry’s profound belief that art and sculpture can be a tool to recreate balance in a deeply unbalanced world. It will operate globally, with first programs being held in Africa in 2024.

An international study centre for textiles, textile crafts, and dress, worldwide and from prehistory to the present day.

The Textile Research Centre (TRC) is a knowledge centre set up in 1991 as an independent foundation. Since 2009 it is housed at Hogewoerd 164, in the centre of historic Leiden, The Netherlands.

The TRC does so by providing courses and lectures, carrying out research and by the presentation of textiles and dress from all over the world. The two main focal points of the TRC are (a) dress and identity: what people wear in order to say who they are and (b) textile crafts and technology, both pre-industrial and industrial.

In order to reach its objectives, the TRC houses various collections, of more than 50,000 items, including a Textile and Garment Collection and a Reference Collection for fibres, threads, dyes, weaves, printed and machine embroidered textiles, and so forth. Most of the objects are photographed, and are available online (open access), with detailed information, In addition, research is aided by the TRC’s library (some 6,500 books, a large collection of articles, as well as visual material such as photographs, prints and postcards). Students, designers and academics come from many countries to Leiden to use the TRC’s facilities and to attend workshops and courses.

Memorial, Museum and research centre on Holocaust and Human Rights 


25,490 Jews and 353 Roma were deported from the Dossin barracks on 28 train transports to Auschwitz-Birkenau between 1942 and 1944. Few of them survived the ordeal. Today the old military base is a serene site of reflection and remembrance, a Memorial. In the museum, facing the former barracks, one can immerse oneself in the history of the Holocaust in Belgium. The museum provides testimonies not only of exclusion, discrimination and mass violence, but also of hope and resistance. Reflect on human rights violations, then and now. In the research centre one can find more about the role of the Dossin barracks during the Second World War or about the experiences of a loved one or family member.

VAN GOGH'S DREAM 
 
 
	 IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM In 1987 Mr. Janssens, with the help of his friends, set up the Institut Van Gogh,

IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM In 1987 Mr. Janssens, with the help of his friends, set up the Institut Van Gogh, and also created the S.A. Ravoux– two organizations, each with its own specific purpose. The challenge was to marry "economics and culture" and "passion and reason" while maintaining the independence of each half of the equation. Economic credibility was guaranteed by the Ravoux S.A., and cultural legitimacy by the Institut Van Gogh. As well as organizing numerous cultural projects and helping to preserve the Auvers heritage, the main goal of the Institut Van Gogh is to bring about Vincent van Gogh's great wish, as expressed in his letter to Theo during his stay in the Auberge Ravoux in 1890: «  Some day or another I believe I will find a way to have my own exhibition in a café.  » 
	 THE WORLD'S SMALLEST MUSEUM The Institut Van Gogh has thus set its sights on the target of exhibiting 'some day or another' a Van Gogh painting of the Auvers period in the Ravoux Inn. With a mere 7 square metres (75 square feet) of exhibition space in the attic room number 5, the very room where the artist lived in 1890, this museum would be the smallest in the world – a real "room with a view." "Don't settle for easy options" Vincent van Gogh to Theo, 1874 But Vincent van Gogh's modest dream is now far more than a modest challenge, given the huge prices his paintings fetch on the art market today. Nevertheless the Institut Van Gogh believes that if it is supported by the lovers of Van Gogh's art worldwide, it will be possible to climb the last few steps to the top floor and make Van Gogh's dream a reality.

The Société Paul Cezanne—founded in 1998 by the artist's great-grandson, Philippe Cezanne, as a tribute to art historian, John Rewald, author of the artist's catalogue raisonne, first published in 1996—is dedicated to:

- promoting and preserving the work of Paul Cezanne and the sites he painted in and around his native Aix-en-Provence, 
- maintaining the revised online catalogue raisonne, available to all for free at www.cezannecatalogue.com.

With the renovation of Cezanne's family home in Aix, the Jas de Bouffan, the Société is now seeking partners to help fund the creation of a new research center devoted to the artist, Le Centre Cezannien de Recherche et de Documentation, which will open in Summer 2025. 

2025 is the year of Cezanne throughout Aix—from a major monographic exhibition at the Musee Granet to city-wide events, programs, and scholarly convenings, this year will mark a new chapter in the artist's ever-growing impact on people around the world. 

In september 2025, "Odyssée Cezanne" a symposium with leading Cezanne specialists is as well open to subscription. 2 days of immersion in Paul Cezanne's restored family bastide, an opportunity to get a closer look to the Grand Salon where a wall painted by Cezanne as a young artist was discovered in august 2023!

These coordinated efforts, across academic and general audiences, will ensure Cezanne's legacy for generations to come, in all corners of the globe.

Support the development of contemporary art in Mexico  

Patronato de Arte Contemporáneo was established in 2000 by an independent group of professionals of the arts to support curatorial, editorial, educational and theoretical projects that contribute to the development of contemporary art in Mexico. We accomplish our mission through out the programs we design to satisfy the needs of the current context of visual arts in Mexico. Our goal is to benefit our countrys' cultural development in the most complete and extensive possible way. Our main programs are:  - The International Symposium on Contemporary Art Theory (SITAC), it's an international event that brings together leading participants in the practice, theory, and history of art to discuss specific themes. The symposium allows a broader diffusion of the artistic ideas among the public, the students, the artists, and related disciplines.  - PACs Grants: Since 2000, we have supported more than 370 projects through this Program. For each supported project, in addition to the economic grant, it involves entering a network of independent projects, and a legitimization before other foundations and / or artistic institutions. Receiving these grants allows many projects to assume their profession as artists and managers.  - Nodos Program: Its a series of activities designed to encourage the exchange between cultural production of the different regions of the country. The main objective of these initiatives is to facilitate a horizontal, plural and multidisciplinary discussion.  - Patrons Program: Our funds come from individual and corporate patrons. This program is designed to be a manifestation of what is our ideology in PAC: to demonstrate the cultural diversity that exists in Mexico, to offer a place of knowledge and at the same time artistic encounters. In the same way that we support artists, we want to accompany each patron to enrich the conversation and learn from each one.

Our mission is to increase the scope for action of the Nationalgalerie in times of scarce public funding.

The history of the "Freunde der Nationalgalerie" began with a passion for the visual arts, a desire to take risks and the enthusiasm of the founding members - and they continue to shape the actions of the Friends to this day.

Since 1977, the "Freunde der Nationalgalerie" have been a key supporter of the work of the Nationalgalerie in Berlin. 

The aim of the Friends is to increase the scope for action of the Nationalgalerie and its six museums in times of scarce public funding. The annual membership fees make a significant contribution to maintaining the Nationalgalerie as a lively, innovative institution that reflects the production of art from the 19th century to the present day in numerous exhibition projects and collection presentations and communicates this to a broad public.

However, one thing is always important: it is not the friends who decide whether classical or contemporary art, whether established or new, will move into the Nationalgalerie's six buildings. It is the decision of those artistically responsible, it is the wish of the directors that determines what we do. For this is an unbroken principle, the "basic law" under which the association was founded and still operates today: Nothing may be exhibited or acquired by the Friends that does not correspond to the wishes of the directors.

The National Gallery (German: Nationalgalerie) in Berlin, Germany, is a museum for art of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. It is part of the Berlin State Museums. From the Alte Nationalgalerie, which was built for it and opened in 1876, its exhibition space has expanded to include five other locations. The museums are part of the Berlin State Museums, owned by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.

Preserving unique treasures of French heritage as well as their natural environment.

The Mansart Foundation aims to revive heritage of outstanding interest, whether historical or contemporary: natural and landscaped sites (parks, botanical gardens), architectural buildings (monuments, residences, industrial establishments), collections and museums.

These places are our heritage and have shaped our art of living, the French Art de vivre. These sites all deserve to be preserved in a sustainable way to be passed on to future generations. This is the purpose of the Mansart Foundation. 

The Foundation focuses on a strong social mission. It aims to open its doors to less privileged visitors and enable them to discover and appreciate legacy buildings, art history and natural environments, thereby helping them develop both their understanding, curiosity, and creativity. 

The Mansart Foundation supports a variety of projects within different sheltered foundations. 

Already owner of the  Chateau de Maintenon , the Foundation is also restoring the  Chateau de Bagatelle to open it to the public. This chateau - listed as a historical monument since 1978 - is exceptional, both for its own history and the one of its owners, and for its location in the heart of Paris and its great architectural quality. 

Under the aegis of the Mansart Foundation, the  Amici Terrae Sanctae Foundation  was created to support the Terra Sancta Museum project in Jerusalem. This museum will present the roots of Christianity and the Treasures of the Holy Sepulchre, composed of unique pieces. Through a rare collection of paintings, sculptures, archival documents and sumptuous gifts from European courts, the works revealed will attest to the centrality and splendor of Jerusalem throughout the centuries. 

To sustain the actions in favor of  Parisian museums , the Mansart Foundation associated with the Friends of the Pompidou Center and the Friends of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris to create under its aegis respectively the Foundation of the Friends of the Pompidou Center and the Foundation of the Friends of the MAM Paris. By donating to these foundations, you will support exceptional cultural projects and contribute to the development of the collections of these museums. 

To safeguard heritage and bring it back to life, while acting in favor of local development and regional planning, the Mansart Foundation provides support to  the Rempart construction sites  through the creation of the Union Rempart sheltered Foundation. These workcamps are not only places to discover heritage and restoration techniques, but also places to learn how to live together and to exercise citizenship.  

The Mansart Foundation is involved in the promotion and animation of the Vauban Citadel in Belle-Ile-en-Mer, a listed historic monument, and the  Vauban sites of Belle-Ile-en-Mer and Morbihan . For this purpose, the sheltered foundation of the Vauban sites of Belle-Ile-en-Mer and Morbihan was created under the aegis of the Mansart Foundation.  

The sheltered foundation for the Preservation of the  Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay and the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse  was created to support the project to restore and develop the remarkable heritage of the former Vaux de Cernay Abbey. The Vaux de Cernay Abbey, a 12th century Cistercian abbey, is a unique, fascinating, and mysterious place located in the heart of the Chevreuse Valley in the state forest of Rambouillet. 

The  Hortus Botanica Foundation  was created to develop an action in favor of gardens and botanical heritage. Its purpose is to help preserve, restore, create, animate, develop, and share to the public the plant heritage, the heritage built or unbuilt, and the gardens existing or to be created, in connection with it. It participates in the cultural dynamization of the living and historical heritage in order to perpetuate extraordinary places.

To serve as the testimony of our gratefulness towards all the G.I.s who, at the risk of their lives, gave us our freedom back.

To create a truly unique space and experience. 
 
 Founded in 1994, the Remember Museum is one of the most interesting of its kind. It is housed in an old renovated barn and is comprised mainly of items abandoned by the American First Infantry Division soldiers who once enjoyed "R & R" at the Schmetz' s farm when Marcel was a young boy. The artifacts include personal items given by numerous WWII Veterans from various units. It is a museum with a human dimension, made great by its welcoming environment, its originality, its simplicity. The museum strives to serve as the testimony of our gratefulness towards all the G.I.s who, at the risk of their lives, gave us our freedom back. Because curators Marcel & Mathilde (M&M) are nearing retirement, the museum and its contents will be transferred to the King Baudouin Foundation and a board of directors will manage the future of this great endeavor, while keeping it warm and personal much like M&M themselves. Thank you for your donation!

It enables diverse communities to reflect on the complex heritage of World War II from multiple historical perspectives. The aim is to teach, to share experiences, and to encourage mutual understanding of our shared past. With fewer eyewitnesses each passing year, Europe Remembers seeks actively to promote new ways of commemorating and remembering World War II for the future.

- Youth Programme

The LRE Foundation is committed to promoting innovative active remembrance and memory transmission projects targeting the younger generations through the LRE Youth Programme. An essential feature of these initiatives is the inclusion and sharing of diverse experiences, applying a multi-perspective approach to WWII history and remembrance.

With HistoryTreks, funded by the Erasmus+ programme, students of different countries get together to reflect on the history and impact of WWII on their regions with formal and non-formal learning methods, including hiking the Liberation Route Europe and visiting remembrance sites along the way.

In turn, with EASTory through their Eyes and Persecution through their Eyes, young Europeans are invited to learn about personal stories of people who experienced WWII and its consequences across Europe, reflecting on the complexity of such shared history. The ‘through their Eyes’ series combines an online and travelling exhibition with youth events in partner locations and is funded by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the EU.

The CTHGC commemorates the victims and survivors of the Nazi regime and various genocides preceding and following the Holocaust.


The **Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre** is a Non-Governmental Organization dedicated to fostering a more **compassionate** and **just** society where human rights and diversity are esteemed.

Through impactful exhibitions, events, and workshops, the Centre **commemorates** the victims and survivors of the Nazi regime and various genocides preceding and following the Holocaust.

Established in 1999, it was the **first** **Holocaust Centre in Africa**, driven by the steadfast commitment to provide **free Holocaust and genocide education**. A primary objective from the outset was to extend this educational outreach to underprivileged communities locally and nationally and to individuals who might not have the financial means to visit.

The **impact and success** of the Centre’s programmes with schools and civil society was an important factor leading to the **inclusion of Holocaust studies in the curriculum of all South African schools**, making the study of the Holocaust mandatory for the students in grade 9 (14-15 years old).

Today, the Centre takes an additional step by **subsidizing** **transportation for disadvantaged groups**, eliminating financial barriers that might otherwise impede access to valuable educational experiences. Demonstrating a dedication to comprehensive support, the Centre also extends its commitment by offering complimentary meals and educational materials to groups of learners originating from the most underprivileged and economically challenged areas of the country.

Through these initiatives, the Centre annually reaches thousands of high school learners and hundreds of teachers, fostering a broader and more inclusive understanding of history and human rights. At the same time the Centre provides a wide range of programming for members of the **local Jewish community, citizens of Cape Town and international visitors**.

Collaborating with external experts, the Centre curates exhibitions and runs programs on other acts of mass violence, such as the Armenian Genocide, *Holodomor*, Rwandan Genocide, and more, emphasizing the **global impact of hatred** and the imperative of preventing history from repeating itself.

In addition to historical exhibitions, the Centre employs the power of art for **expression and healing.** Collaborations with artists from around the world present diverse mediums that offer fresh perspectives on human suffering, resilience, and the triumph of the human spirit.

The exhibitions and the accompanying programs serve as a **testament to the enduring power of memory and education**. By confronting the darkness of the past, the Centre aims to inspire a renewed commitment to humanity, understanding, and peace, in the hope that the lessons learned from history lead to a **brighter and more inclusive future**.

Saath founded in 1989 serves the informal sector through education, livelihood, health, & financial literacy and inclusion.  

Saath is a Public Charitable Trust, founded in 1989, with an aim to support those underserved. Saath in Hindi/Gujarati means ‘together, co-operation, or a collective support. The organization is dedicated to empowering the marginalized communities, by providing livelihood opportunities, access to health care, education, financial literacy and inclusion through varied interventions developed organically in a participatory manner. The goal is to build ownership from within the community to ensure sustainability and impactful transformations, especially for women and children.

**Vision:** Saath envisions inclusive and empowered communities and individuals.

**Mission:** To make human settlements equitable living environments where all residents and vulnerable people have access to health, education, essential infrastructure services and livelihood options, irrespective of their economic and social status.

**Approach:** Saath engages organizations, corporates and individuals from India and globally as partners and supporters. Saath initiated the Integrated Community Development Program, an undertaking that seeks to rejuvenate slums into vibrant neighbourhoods. Saath works with slum residents, children, women, youth, informal sector workers, and vulnerable people in urban and rural areas. It addresses multiple needs of the socio-economically vulnerable with one-stop solutions, through which slum residents have access to basic services for holistic growth.

**Saath’s Thematic areas:**

**Livelihood** - The livelihood programs at Saath focus on making individuals financially independent either by equipping them with vocational training (traditional and non-traditional) or supporting them through entrepreneurial support. Women have been at the core of this initiative. Till date Saath has actively supported **72,809** youth and women for vocational training. Out of which 5200 are successful entrepreneurs. 3,200 women have been trained in non-traditional livelihoods.

**Education** - Saath has supported almost **23,066** children through various educational initiatives.\*\*\*\* The three main strategies tailored to the specific needs of communities are:

**Balghar:** Launched in 2004 as pre-school spaces designed to provide a nurturing educational environment for the holistic development of children. Activities within these spaces concentrate on addressing a child's cognitive, socio-economic, physiological, psychological, and nutritional needs. Serving as demonstration spaces, Balghar complements government-run anganwadis (Pre-schools), catering to the same age group of children. The ultimate goal of the Balghar is to seek admission for the child into a mainstream school, to further her education.  

**Child-Friendly Spaces:** Is a vital initiative aimed at offering a secure environment for child laborers and the offspring of construction workers, addressing their comprehensive developmental requirements. Frequently left unsupervised due to the absence of parental care, these children are at risk of being compelled into child labor. 

**STEM Education:** Is dedicated to enhancing the quality of education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics through specially developed Centres, equipped with hands-on learning material, an essential need for children from marginalized communities, particularly girls, who often lack opportunities to pursue these subjects. The STEM experience also presents to them varied career opportunities which they can now seek out and explore. 

**Health –** Health has been an integral part of Saath’s working since its inception, strongly believing that health has an implication on every aspect of a person’s life. Till date Saath has supported **8,22,040** through various interventions, health awareness programs and referral linkages especially focusing on reproductive and child health, vaccination, immunization, Tuberculosis and malnourishment among the vulnerable communities.

**Livelihood:** The livelihood program focusses on making indiviuals financially independent either by equipping them with vocational training (traditional & non-traditional) or supporting them through entreprenurial support. Women have been at the core of this initiative. Till date Saath has actively supported 76,788 youth and women through vocational training. 8,832 have been supported through Microentrepreneurship (ME) interventions. 

**Integrated Area Development (IAD) -** The goal of IAD is bringing together & empowering communities to address issues affecting the quality of their life. The program includes extensive mapping, identification of problem areas and prioritizing them on the basis of severity and urgency. All done in a participatory manner to build ownership from with the community. Committees are then formed and empowered to take these issues to the local government for redressal. 25000 households have been supported through the IAD and more than 500 problems have been resolved. 

**Financial inclusion –** The program aims to build a habit of saving among the community members, no matter how small the amount be. The intervention started in Rajasthan in 2016 spread to Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat as well. Saath has till date supported over **30,000** beneficiaries through various financial inclusion interventions.

Using art as a vehicle for social change, while connecting the shared history, values and futures of Africa and its Diaspora!

The experiences and cultural contributions of people of African descent have been marginalized throughout history and MoCADA’s mission is to undertake the responsibility of rewriting that history in order to give a more accurate portrayal of the contributions of people of African descent to the artistic and global landscape.

The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) uplifts the visual, literary, and performing arts as a conduit that connects the shared history, values, and futures of Africa and its diaspora, for the purpose of advancing dialogue on pressing social + political issues faced by these communities. We give platform within our safe spaces to artists whose work honor, celebrate, and expand this rich conversation while inviting our community in to explore, engage, and thrive within our collective evolution.

Our mission is to preserve the Port Royal Sound for the environmental, cultural and economic well-being of our area.


The Port Royal Sound—a tidal inlet of the Atlantic Ocean—is the body of water that defines the Lowcountry of South Carolina, from the beaches of Hilton Head to the salt marshes of Beaufort.

While this list is not exhaustive, it gives you an idea of the breadth and depth of our commitment to the health of the Port Royal Sound and its inhabitants. Being a coastal community comes with a lot of perks, as well as a lot of responsibility. Preserving the healthy water and unique wildlife supported by the Sound goes hand-in-hand with preserving the scenery, seafood, art and recreation in which we take pride and that make our home so special. Caring for the Sound is about more than just protecting the environment- it’s about protecting our Lowcountry lifestyle, today and for generations to come.
