Important note
Aga Khan Foundation is largely an implementing organisation rather than a grant-making foundation.
It works in rural development, education, health, environment and civil society, and funds a few
projects that further its development goals.
Please note that a precondition for funding is the existence of the Foundation office in the country
where the proposal originates or where the project would be executed.
Purpose and program areas
The Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) focuses on the physical, social, cultural and economic
revitalisation of communities in the Muslim world. It includes:
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture
The Aga Khan Historic Cities Programme
The Aga Khan Music Initiative in Central Asia
The on-line resource ArchNet.org
The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard University and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
The Museums & Exhibitions unit coordinates the development of a number of museum and
exhibition projects
Funding sources
A significant portion of the funding for development activities comes from national governments,
multilateral institutions and private sector partners (see: http://www.akdn.org /partners.asp).
Eligible countries
The AKDN works in 30 countries around the world, mostly in poor areas of South Asia and Central
Asia, Eastern and Western Africa, and the Middle East. Other programmes, notably in education and
culture, operate in Europe and North America as well as in Asia and Africa.
