The Keith Haring Foundation was established in 1989 by the late American artist Keith Haring to support US-based non-profit organizations that provide opportunities for young people and those directly impacted by HIV\/AIDS. The Foundation is working to break cycles of persistent disparities in healthcare, academic advancement, and employment opportunities.<\/p>\n
The Keith Haring Foundation funds sustainable initiatives that meet its mandate, and that provide proof of need and exemplary performance.\u00a0 \u00a0The Foundation will not consider requests for funding that can otherwise be covered by federal, state, or city sources.<\/p>\n

We require solid tracking and outcome data that can support and justify the impact of the program for which funding is sought.<\/p>\n For longstanding grantees we have established, multi-year relationships with, we will occasionally consider supporting new initiatives, multi-year awards, underwriting a full program, capital requests, capacity grants, or endowments as they pertain to projects that fulfill our funding focus.<\/p>\n If your organization has been awarded a grant from the Keith Haring Foundation, please wait two full years before submitting a renewal request.
