Mission - Erik Brunetti Foundation for the Arts

Mission Statement

The Erik Brunetti Foundation for the Arts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation, research, and advancement of contemporary and postmodern cultural works. The Foundation provides access to curated archival materials, supports public-benefit programming in the arts, and offers noncommercial educational services to artists, researchers, and community institutions.

Operating from its institutional headquarters in Easton, Pennsylvania, the Foundation maintains a permanent archive, delivers invitation-based mentorship, and facilitates digital access to cultural resources. Through these activities, the Foundation contributes to the long-term preservation of artistic legacies, offers services that relieve the burden on public-sector cultural programs, and ensures nonprofit operation without private benefit.

The Foundation’s programs serve an indefinite class of beneficiaries and are conducted without charge. All operational surplus is reinvested into mission-aligned activities, in accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Pennsylvania’s HUP criteria for purely public charities.
