HERITAGE IN ACTION

From heritage to development

Cultural identity as a base for livelihoods

Work with the Royal Family

The Royal Family invites suitable organisations, municipalities, businesses and civil-society groups to explore partnership. An enquiry opens a conversation. It does not create a partnership.

  • Say which priority area interests you.
  • Describe your organisation and what you can offer.
  • Expect a reply from the Royal House once enquiries are connected.

We ask only for what is needed to respond. Under POPIA you may ask for your information to be corrected or removed.
