A M Qattan Foundation

Established in 1993, the A. M. Qattan Foundation is a registered independent charity in the United Kingdom (No. 1029450). Our work in Palestine began in 1998 (registration No. QR-0035-F), and since then, we have remained committed to supporting culture, education, and the arts in Palestine and the wider Arab world.

Our mission is to foster a dynamic and enriching environment for knowledge production, grounded in the values of freedom, open dialogue, and a deep appreciation for science, art, and literature. This vision is firmly rooted in the rich, complex realities of Palestinian and Arab societies.

Today, the Foundation delivers its work through two core programs designed to serve Palestinians globally. We operate through our cultural centers in Ramallah and Gaza, as well as The Mosaic Rooms, our cultural space in the United Kingdom.
