Edo Arts and Cultural Heritage Institute is organized exclusively
for charitable, religious, educational, historical and cultural
purposes. To accomplish its mission, the institute proposes to
establish partnerships with other agencies committed to the needs of
the disadvantaged or impoverished in Africa and the United States.
For such purposes, the Institute plans on making contributions to
organizations that qualify as tax-exempt under section 501 (c) (3)
of the US Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any
future federal tax code.
