Introduction

ArtVenture is a philanthropic organisation which seeks to harness art and culture to improve lives in meaningful ways.

ArtVenture identifies those projects and organisations where the incremental dollar will make the greatest difference in terms of meaningful life improvement. Return on investment is measured according to a project's ability to both alleviate suffering and create solutions that address the root causes of poverty, illness and conflict. We endeavour to bring a positive message of hope and joy to places of turmoil and despair.

All too often when the arts are involved, dispassionate judgement is suspended. The consequences are that capital is not allocated to the most effective projects which support the greatest needs; rather, well-intentioned giving results in dependency and entitlement. Our goal is to foster self-reliance. Philanthropy is most effective when it provides individuals with the resources to become productive members of society. We seek to help people help themselves. We focus our grant-making in six key sectors:

Health Education Social Harmony

Urban Regeneration Freedom to Create Designs for Life
