Partners

Welcome to our new partners!

Our fiscal sponsor FJC is a 501 (c) (3) public foundation in New York City. Thanks to their professional staff and client-friendly approach, we are now positioned to expand our donor base.

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) in the U.S. has entered into a long-term partnership with us to support our Playtime in Africa Initiative through its Global Citizen Project.

The Foundation for Contemporary Art in Ghana is a vital force in the Accra Arts scene.  FCA members collaborate with us on shared interests.

The institutions, groups, artists, cultural activists and individual supporters who donate their time, finances, in-kind resources and skills are critical to the success of our mission. We recognize our current, recent and past partners below and say a big aseda (thanks)!
