Foundation

Foundation for Lingap Kapampangan, Inc.

The Foundation for Lingap Kapampangan, Inc. is a non-stock, nonprofit organization committed to preserving, promoting and developing Kapampangan cultural heritage, history, language, arts and identity. FLKI manages Santungan ning Kulturang Kapampangan and organizes the Sinukwan Festival in cooperation with public, private, educational and community partners.

FLKI's civic roots are connected with the movement to protect Pampanga in the difficult years following the Mount Pinatubo eruption. Its cultural work grew from the understanding that recovery requires more than physical protection. A people must also retain access to its history, language, memory, creative traditions and sense of place.
