The Henry Moore Foundation was founded by Moore in 1977 to encourage appreciation of the visual arts, especially sculpture. Its responsibilities are preserving Moore's legacy at his Hertfordshire home and in exhibitions worldwide; funding exhibitions and research at the Henry Moore Institute; and awarding grants to arts organisations.
