Based in New York, the Keith Haring Foundation is a private, self-supporting nonprofit established in 1989 to carry forward the artist's charitable work. As a grantmaking organization, it provides support to not-for-profit groups involved in charitable and educational activities, concentrating on opportunities for underprivileged children and on research and care related to AIDS and HIV infection. In addition to funding, the foundation preserves Keith Haring's artistic legacy through a collection and archives that enable historical research about the artist and the era he lived in. It backs arts and educational institutions by funding exhibitions, educational programs, acquisitions, and publications that help contextualize and illuminate his work and philosophy. The foundation operates without running its own programs and relies on grants and self-sustaining activities to support its mission. It is headquarters in New York with a staff described as small to mid-sized. In late 2025, the organization appointed a new executive director, signaling ongoing leadership evolution. Through these activities, the foundation seeks to sustain the artist's legacy while contributing to educational access for underprivileged youth and to AIDS-related research and care.
