is a not-for-profit public foundation, which through its art-related programs, seeks to raise funds to help those who need our help - particularly children and animals. Cygnet's programs include publications, exhibitions and artist and institutional grants. The Cygnet Foundation's support for children is directed primarily to UNICEF, the most experienced and effective world-wide organization dedicated to protecting the rights and enhancing the well-being of children in need. The net proceeds Cygnet receives from its new publication, Full of Grace A Journey through the History of Childhood, (2007) will be donated to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. The Foundation's efforts to help animals in need is currently directed to its Thousand Hounds project. Through the net proceeds received by it from the sales of the books, A Thousand Hounds (Taschen, 2000) and it's related exhibitions, the Cygnet Foundation hopes to provide the resources to find homes for a thousand dogs (and cats).
