We believe that those who have more—resources, access, opportunity—have a responsibility to uplift those who have less. Guided by this principle, our mission is to expand access to education in the arts, sciences, and humanities. We work to inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in communities that have historically been underserved. By sharing knowledge and fostering connection, we aim to build a more informed, empathetic, and equitable world.

the amaret foundation

At the Amaret Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of education as a way to inspire, connect and empower individuals to create a better world. Our mission is to support and promote education in the arts, literature, science, and the humanities, fostering creativity, critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the human experience.

Founded on the principle that knowledge and creativity are essential for personal and societal growth, the Amaret Foundation collaborates with educators, artists, scientists, writers, and communities to create opportunities for learning and innovation. From funding scholarships and grants to organizing workshops, lectures, and cultural events, we strive to make education accessible and impactful for people of all ages and backgrounds.

We envision a world where every individual has the opportunity to explore their passions, expand their horizons, and contribute meaningfully to society. Through our programs and partnerships, we aim to bridge gaps in access to quality education, celebrate diverse perspectives, and inspire the next generation of thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers. Together, we can nurture the minds that will shape the future.
