Zaklada Otok Brač

Zaklada Otok Brač (Brač Island Foundation) is a Croatian foundation established to preserve, research, and promote the cultural and historical heritage of the island of Brač. According to its official website, the foundation was created out of the conviction that the island was not inherited from past generations but rather received on loan for future generations. Its mission is to document the Brač of today before it disappears, and to initiate socially beneficial projects focused on heritage research and preservation. The foundation maintains a collection that includes archaeological finds, old utilitarian objects, documents, books, manuscripts, vintage postcards, and photographs. A separate part of the collection is dedicated to works by Brač artists. The foundation also runs projects and is recognized as a local community foundation. It accepts donations to support its activities. As a private, non-profit entity, Zaklada Otok Brač operates primarily on the island of Brač and within Croatia. Its website features articles on local history and ethnography, such as the story of desert sandals from El Shatt and the traditional trade of koncapijati. The foundation's work is rooted in the idea of safeguarding the island's tangible and intangible heritage for future generations.
