The EPA Endowment fund

Since 2001, EPA is self financed which is a real challenge for an African cultural institution. To support EPA in this mission ICCROM created an endowment fund: the EPA Fund with the purpose of permitting EPA to cover its operating expenses. The EPA Endowment Fund has received the High Patronage of 10 eminent public figures whom have embarked on the safeguard of the African cultural heritage.

Donations received follow those made for the PREMA 1990-2000 programme during the 14 years of its existence. €6 900 000 were collected from 21 partners at that time.

From 2001 to 2007, the Fund had received €2,390,000 from more than 20 countries, foundations, organizations and private individuals.

We would like to thank all those who have supported the Fund until now:

To this day 2,409,204 EUR (3,243,000 USD) have been gathered.
