Core Values of The Reggae Museum Foundation

At the heart of The Reggae Museum Foundation lies a commitment to honoring the spirit of reggae music while ensuring its legacy continues to inspire generations to come. Our work is guided by five core values that shape everything we do—from preserving the past to creating opportunities for the future.

Preservation

Reggae is more than music—it is a cultural treasure that carries the history, struggles, and triumphs of a people. The foundation is dedicated to safeguarding reggae’s history by preserving rare artifacts, recordings, memorabilia, and oral histories. By protecting these cultural treasures, we ensure that the legacy of reggae’s pioneers remains accessible to future generations.

Education

Knowledge is the bridge between history and the future. Through workshops, lectures, exhibitions, and school partnerships, the foundation provides learning opportunities that teach not only the sound of reggae but also its deeper messages of resistance, unity, and love. Our goal is to empower students, researchers, and communities with a greater understanding of reggae’s global impact.

Community

Reggae has always been a people’s music—a rhythm that unites communities across borders. We are committed to building strong cultural and artistic connections, both locally and globally, by engaging artists, educators, and fans in collaborative projects. By fostering these connections, we celebrate reggae’s role as a force for togetherness and cultural pride.

Innovation

While deeply rooted in tradition, reggae is also a living art form that continues to evolve. The foundation supports innovation by encouraging new creative works inspired by reggae. From contemporary musicians to visual artists and filmmakers, we provide a platform for fresh voices that carry forward reggae’s spirit in new and exciting ways.

Inclusion

Reggae’s story is a universal one—born in Jamaica but embraced by the world. Our foundation values diversity and inclusion, ensuring that all voices and perspectives within reggae’s history and future are represented. From pioneers in the roots era to modern-day artists in dancehall and beyond, we celebrate the full spectrum of reggae culture and its global community.

Our Mission & Values

Every initiative we launch is crafted to strengthen communities and steward resources responsibly. By sharing transparent insights and actionable guidance, we aim to multiply good work and spark collaboration across causes and continents.

Transparency & Stewardship

We treat every donation, whether it’s a single coin in a collection jar or a seven-figure grant, with the same rigorous care. Detailed impact reports, quarterly independent audits, and real-time project dashboards allow supporters to trace each dollar from receipt to result.

By publishing success metrics and setbacks side-by-side, we make room for honest dialogue, faster course-corrections, and deeper trust between our team, our partners, and the communities we serve.

Inclusive Collaboration

Sustainable change only happens when those most affected help design the solution. Before launching any program we convene listening circles, translate materials into local languages, and invite community leaders, youth advocates, and elders to co-create project goals.

We also forge cross-sector partnerships, pairing NGOs with small businesses, universities, and faith groups, because diverse expertise sparks innovation and ensures that our programs respect cultural context while scaling effectively. .

Lifelong Service

Charity is not a single event; it’s a lifelong rhythm of empathy in action. We nurture that rhythm through mentorship pipelines and hands-on training that equip volunteers to grow from one-time helpers into seasoned servant-leaders. Workshops on trauma-informed care and systemic advocacy empower people to address root causes, not just symptoms.

By celebrating service milestones and providing ongoing educational resources, we foster a global network committed to transforming compassion into enduring, generational impact.
