Kulture Foundation
2025 Transparency Report
Real Stories. Real People. Real Change.
A Message from Our Founder
When we launched Kulture Foundation in 2025, we had zero budget, no office—just a vision, a smartphone, and a deep belief that culture + compassion could change lives. This report is proof that we were right.
What you're about to read isn't polished corporate PR. It's the raw, honest truth about our first year—the wins, the struggles, the lives changed, and the lessons learned. We promised radical transparency. Here it is.
