The Foundation is thrilled to announce its successful registration as a UK charity, taking the next step in its mission to celebrate Marco Polo's legacy

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, November 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The MarcoPolo700 Foundation is thrilled to announce its successful registration as a UK charity, marking a monumental achievement in its mission to foster intercultural understanding and celebrate Marco Polo's legacy along the Silk Road.

MarcoPolo700’s mission is to bridge cultures and foster understanding across East and West, inspired by Marco Polo’s transformative journey along the Silk Road. Through educational programs, exhibitions, and collaborations, the Foundation seeks to highlight shared heritage and diverse cultural perspectives. By connecting communities, supporting the arts, and promoting historical knowledge, MarcoPolo700 encourages meaningful dialogue and mutual appreciation. The Foundation’s work amplifies voices from all over the world, illuminating traditions and stories that transcend borders and foster global unity.

Achieving charity status in the UK signifies a commitment to public benefit and adherence to the UK's regulatory standards. This designation provides MarcoPolo700 with enhanced opportunities for public fundraising and allows for expanded eligibility for grants, empowering the Foundation to strengthen its educational and cultural programs. The foundation believes that in a world where division and separation is becoming more prevalent, it’s crucial to work on initiatives that offer a counter balance and foster inclusion, diversity and most importantly unites humans from all over the world.

Florian Ehrbar, the Foundation’s COO and founding Trustee who led the charity application, expressed his pride: “Gaining charity status represents an extraordinary milestone. It’s a testament to the vision we have for uniting cultures on a global scale, and I am immensely proud of our team’s dedication to this cause.” He has been working tirelessly to push the foundation along an ambitious roadmap and as a founding Trustee has first hand experience with how much progress has been made towards fulfilling the vision of the foundation.

Clara Lau, Director of Compliance & Finance Administration, added, “This achievement not only reflects our team's hard work but also opens new doors for advancing MarcoPolo700’s initiatives. We’re excited about the opportunities this status will bring.” Mrs Lau is looking forward to processing inquiries from global philanthropists who are interested in fostering unity in the world and get involved in very unique projects featuring art pieces that have been behind closed doors for generations.

MarcoPolo700 champions global cultural exchange through an array of initiatives, including immersive digital and physical exhibitions, youth art competitions, and collaborative research projects with global academic institutions. The Foundation follows in Marco Polo’s historic footsteps, promoting cultural appreciation and knowledge sharing between East and West.

The additional funding potential is a great opportunity for the foundation to further embrace modern technologies to attract a global audience and create a truly unique and captivating program for all host cities that participate in the Foundation’s activities.
