Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi Foundation for Policy Research

The Al Qasimi Foundation is the founder and organizer of the Ras Al Khaimah Fine Arts Festival. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2019, the Foundation was established through Emiri decree to aid in the social, cultural, and economic development of Ras Al Khaimah, a northern emirate in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is considered a non-profit, quasi-governmental organization. As part of its mission, the Foundation seeks to generate a world-class body of research on Ras Al Khaimah and the broader UAE, develop local capacity in the public sector, and engage the community in its work. While education is a signature focus, the Al Qasimi Foundation has branched into other public policy areas including arts and culture, philanthropy, public health, and community development.
