Cultural preservation is sustained through relationships

The work of preserving living heritage cannot be undertaken by one organisation alone.

We welcome thoughtful collaboration with communities, practitioners, researchers, educational institutions, cultural organisations, archives, responsible businesses, patrons, and supporters.

Every collaboration should begin with clarity about purpose, roles, consent, expectations, resources, ownership, and outcomes.

Collaborate

Heritage work is stronger when it is shared.

We welcome collaboration with communities, researchers, cultural institutions, universities, practitioners, philanthropists, and organisations committed to the future of India's living heritage.

I Represent a Community

If you are part of a community with a living cultural tradition — a craft, a practice, a knowledge system, a ritual, or a way of life — we would like to hear from you. Our work begins with listening, and we are committed to ensuring that any collaboration is respectful, transparent, and beneficial to your community.

I Am a Researcher or Institution

We welcome partnerships with researchers, universities, cultural institutions, and documentation organisations. If your work intersects with India's living heritage, let us explore how we might collaborate on research, documentation, or knowledge-sharing initiatives.

I Would Like to Support the Work

If you are an individual, foundation, or organisation interested in supporting the Foundation's mission through philanthropy, grants, or institutional partnership, we would welcome a conversation about how your support can be directed toward meaningful cultural work.

I Would Like to Collaborate

If you have a proposal, an idea, or a connection that you believe could contribute to the Foundation's work, please reach out. We are open to conversations that may lead somewhere unexpected and valuable.
