Stories
Heritage
Through Kom language classes in the Twin Cities, traditional instrument training and our Kom Language at Risk video series, we are teaching Itanghikom to the next generation and recording it before it slips out of reach. We hope our work encourages other African communities to do the same for their languages, and we are glad to share what has worked for us and what has been hard.
Cameroon
Through the WAPPCAM Association we awarded a 118,000 FCFA Educational Support Grant to Akong Angel Mbuameh for the 2025/2026 academic year.
Where the money goes
As a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) with a positive net asset position, the overwhelming majority of every gift goes straight into programs: studio time, instruments, tuition grants, event costs and travel for young artists.
