Partner with us

Government & cultural institutions

National and regional bodies with a mandate for intangible heritage documentation, traditional arts preservation, or cultural diplomacy.

Municipalities and Creative Cities

Municipalities and Creative Cities seeking to document their creative communities, produce publications, and build heritage-based tourism and economic infrastructure.

Universities & research institutions

Academic partners who contribute expert historians, anthropologists, and researchers — and who integrate CK Foundation projects into their educational and fieldwork programs.

Foundations & NGOs

Organizations aligned with CK Foundation’s mission that bring community networks, funding capacity, or thematic expertise in areas such as gender equity, sustainable development, or indigenous rights.

A CK Foundation partnership is built on complementarity. You bring what we cannot replicate — institutional authority, local knowledge, cultural credibility, and community access. We bring what takes years to develop — a proven methodology, a scalable digital infrastructure, and the operational capacity to deliver complex, multi-stakeholder heritage projects.

Project partnership

A defined collaboration around a specific heritage documentation project — with agreed deliverables, timeline, and budget. Typically, 12–24 months. The most common format.

Institutional partnership (MoU)

A long-term strategic agreement enabling multiple projects over time. Includes co-branding, joint communication, and shared access to CK Foundation’s methodology and network.

Research and academic partnership

Collaboration with universities or research centers to integrate CK Foundation fieldwork into academic programs, co-author publications, or develop new methodological frameworks.

Network partnership

Membership in the CK Foundation partner network — sharing resources, co-promoting initiatives, and participating in cross-community knowledge exchange without a single defined project.
