Our Programmes
At Mondejar Foundation, our programmes are not about accolades or scale, but about meaningful service. We believe that every project, no matter how large or small, is a shared effort-with communities, collaborators, and like-hearted partners. The initiatives you see here are not trophies, but stepping stones-shaped by compassion, built on trust, and powered by the belief that progress is a collective act. We share these highlights not to compete, but to connect with others who care deeply, work quietly, and strive for a better future alongside us.
At Mondejar Foundation, our work is rooted in a commitment to equity, creativity, and compassion. Across every initiative-from education and the arts to climate action and mental health-we collaborate with inspiring individuals, institutions, and communities to create lasting change. Our projects are complemented by both affiliated organisations and supported initiatives that share our values.

Through curated exhibitions, artistic residencies, cultural archiving, and mentorship, we promote intergenerational dialogue and expression. Among our affiliated projects are the Mondejar Gallery, Mondejar Archives, the Emerging & Underrepresented Professional Artists Club, the MG International Art CollectorsREAD MORE
Education & Scholarships
We believe that education is one of the most powerful instruments for sustainable transformation. At the Mondejar Foundation, we are committed to making learning accessible, relevant, and enduring.
