About Us
Foundation 64’s primary aim is to provide visibility for NGOs and charities that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to their support of human rights causes and project sustainability. We create visual portfolios in collaboration with humanitarian photographer Aydin Matlabi, which explore the diverse range of these organizations’ achievements in the field
The second aim of Foundation 64 is to connect NGOs with for profit organizations as well as donors, whose social values are similarly aligned. This twofold approach aims to increase visibility for both parties and the work they do, ensuring that their stories of hope and innovation get told as well as getting their projects funded.
Our mandate is to provide a platform to demonstrate the power of hope with a specific focus on women, children, and the LGBTQ+ community
Foundation 64’s mission is to foster artistic expression and humanitarian action, creating a symbiotic relationship where art catalyzes social change.
We are committed to uplifting emerging artists, providing them with opportunities to showcase their work, while ensuring that the proceeds support NGOs and humanitarian projects. By intertwining the creative and philanthropic worlds, we aim to generate sustainable impact, advocating for human rights, and empowering communities globally.
Our guiding principle is that through art, we can offer hope, drive progress, and build a better future for all.
At Foundation 64, we believe that visibility is the cornerstone of creating lasting impact. By bringing to light the works of emerging artists and the critical missions of NGOs and humanitarian projects, we aim to foster a culture of awareness, empathy, and action.
Our goal is to ensure that these vital stories and endeavors are not only seen but also resonate with a global audience, inspiring support and engagement. Through our platform, we amplify the voices of those working towards a better world, making visible the unseen efforts and achievements in the fight for human rights and sustainability.
The goal of Foundation 64’s funded art shows is to create a powerful nexus between artistic
expression and humanitarian advocacy. By showcasing works that reflect humanitarian themes,
these exhibitions serve as a catalyst for visibility and support for vital causes. The ultimate aim is
to leverage the arts as a dynamic force for social change, funneling the generated funds into
humanitarian projects that make a real-world difference.
