The lt. general H.G. Boumeester foundation aims to fund projects that contribute to promoting the understanding and preservation of Asian cultures, with an emphasis on the arts and crafts particular to these cultures.

The foundation may prioritise projects that promote cultural awareness through an exhibition, performance, concert or publication. Art-related research is also welcomed.

There are no geographical restrictions as to the locality of the applicant, but there should be a demonstrable connection between the proposed project and its contribution to promoting the understanding and preservation of one or more Asian cultures. In assessing a project proposal the board of trustees will also take its impact and effectiveness into consideration.

The foundation explicitly abstains from any political position. 

If you believe that a project is eligible for our support, we warmly invite you to let us know. Please take note of the information provided in 'How to apply' in the menu at the top left.
