The Puffin Foundation, Ltd. is a non-profit organization based in New York, NY that aims to support artists and art organizations who are often marginalized due to their race, gender, or social philosophy. Through grants and special projects, they strive to open doors of artistic expression and ensure that the arts thrive at all levels of society. The foundation takes its name from the Puffin bird, which was once endangered in the northeastern United States but was successfully restored to its native habitats through the efforts of concerned individuals. This metaphor reflects their mission to join forces with other like-minded groups and individuals to promote the flourishing of the arts. The Puffin Cultural Forum, a division of The Puffin Foundation, serves as a platform for fostering dialogue on art, issues, and community. Through various initiatives such as the Puffin Prize for Creative Citizenship and the ALBA Puffin Award for Human Rights Activism, they support visionaries who challenge the status quo and honor international champions of human rights. Additionally, the foundation provides grants to artists and organizations in the fields of fine arts, music, photography, theater, video, film, radio, and public interest.
