Cosmos Foundation is a philanthropic arm of the Cosmos Group, registered as a trust dedicated to providing strategic insights and policy solutions to help Bangladesh chart its course toward a better future, apart from discovering, cultivating and disseminating for a global audience, the art of Bangladesh.

The Foundation also oversees the group's abiding commitment to nature conservation, where its award-winning work has forged working relationships with institutions of world-renown, such as the Smithsonian. It works through a variety of arrangements, often in partnership with specialised think-tanks and scholarly institutes, besides leveraging the group's media holdings, to foster critical engagement on the most important issues of the day.

Through its collection of galleries, exhibitions, publications, symposia and digital platforms, the Foundation aims to engage both local and global audiences in artistic and intellectual interventions that aim to illuminate the past, examine the present, and imagine the future.
