The Artisan Discovery Foundation was formed in May 2012. It is a 501(c)3 charitable organization meant to identify indigenous artisans from impoverished and rural communities in the U.S. and abroad. By assisting people to further develop existing or new artisan craft, they will be able to pave eventual pathways out of poverty by selling their goods through our Artisan Discovery marketplace. The marketplace plans to become rated as a 'fair trade' corporation. The foundation will carefully research, identify, and help to fund community development projects in the selected areas, which will help sustain impoverished people and their communities.
