Involved
The Ampersand Foundation depends on the generosity of individuals, organisations and businesses who believe in the transformative power of South African art. There are many ways to help.
Sponsor a Post at the Wits Art Museum
The Wits Art Museum (WAM) at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg is one of South Africa's most important university art collections — home to over 6,000 works. By sponsoring a curatorial or research post at WAM, you directly enable the museum to care for, interpret, and share South Africa's extraordinary visual arts heritage with students, scholars, and the public. This is a meaningful, lasting way to invest in the infrastructure that supports South African art.

A direct donation to the Ampersand Foundation funds the fellowship residency — covering accommodation, flights and living expenses for South African artists spending time in New York. Every contribution, large or small, extends this life-changing opportunity to more artists.
Donate to the foundation →Corporate & Business Support
Businesses that support the arts demonstrate meaningful social commitment. Partner with the Ampersand Foundation as a corporate supporter and align your brand with one of South Africa's most respected arts organisations — with opportunities for recognition, events and access.
