Yang Won Sun Foundation
To bring down walls and connect the world where no gap is too wide to close
OUR MISSION
Connecting cultures. Empowering communities.
We increase intercultural awareness, deepen the understanding of Korea, and enhance the livelihood of Korean communities worldwide.
We believe that lasting change begins with empathy, understanding and respect for identity and culture. By fostering dialogue across
generations, nations and communities, we work to create a more inclusive, connected, and compassionate world.
Through cultural exchange and shared experiences, we encourage deeper awareness of Korea within the broader context of global culture - highlighting both its unique voice and its ability to connect with others. Our goal is not only to support the Korean community, but also to strengthen the bonds that unite diverse communities worldwide.
We keep the conversation alive by building bridges, supporting collaboration, and creating spaces where cultures meet and people thrive together. In doing so, we empower communities to grow with openness, resilience, and mutual respect.
Program Highlights: What We Support
Every year, we give grants to a diverse array of groups and organizations who promote our values.
The Yang Won Sun Foundation has focused on three core initiatives: arts and culture, education, and community development.
Connecting Humanity Through Creativity
Art transcends borders and languages. It reveals our shared humanity and invites us to see the world through new perspectives.
We support artists, institutions, and programs that expand cultural dialogue and deepen mutual understanding through exhibitions, performances, and creative collaborations.
Our belief is simple: creativity has the power to connect us all.
Expanding Knowledge, Inspiring Connection
Education builds bridges across ideas, generations, and nations.
We support students, scholars, and organizations that advance learning and research related to Korea and its place in the world.
Through scholarships, partnerships, and opportunities for dialogue, we empower individuals to learn deeply and engage meaningfully with the global community.
Building Foundations for Shared Growth
Thriving communities are at the heart of lasting progress.
We support initiatives that strengthen social connection, promote cultural belonging, and empower individuals to contribute to the well-being of their communities.
Our goal is to help create environments where creativity, compassion, and opportunity can flourish side by side.
