The Corda Foundation
The Foundation
The Corda Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity, was organized in 2000 by a group of writers, artists, educators and other professionals who feel strongly that the works of Rosenmann-Taub must be preserved and must receive the attention they merit.
The purpose of the Corda Foundation is to assemble and preserve the artistic works of David Rosenmann-Taub, and to make them available worldwide. Corda’s goals include publishing and translating his poetry, recording his music, and exhibiting his drawings. The Foundation maintains tri-lingual poetry and music websites, and a site dedicated to his drawings. It also sponsors The Corda Foundation Awards Program.
Staff and directors of the Foundation are all volunteers. Initial donations from the public and from private foundations allowed Corda to acquire, in April of 2001, a newly-constructed, environmentally-controlled building with space for an extensive library, a small studio for musical recording, permanent archival storage, and facilities for scholarly study of the artist’s works.
Corda relies on the public for donations to fund its projects. All contributions are applied exclusively to these efforts. Administrative and operating expenses are being provided by Corda’s founders. Donations are tax deductible and the Corda Foundation welcomes contributions from individuals, corporations and institutions, private and public foundations, and the use of planned giving strategies including bequests, charitable remainder trusts, and charitable lead trusts.
