The National Museum of Hip-Hop Foundation was created to spearhead positive programs within the hip-hop community.

The Museum facility has not yet been constructed. However, the lack of four walls and a ceiling should not and does not prevent the institution from fulfilling its civic obligations. Thus, the Foundation’s work in the community will begin now.

The primary purpose of the NMoH Foundation is to fund and implement the various public and community programs created and developed by the NMoH Team while the Museum is being constructed.
