讓前衛創作的力量滲透到社會中，使「原創文化」成為社會和產業的養分與動力。

To nurture an ecosystem of creators by fostering an environment where the power of disruptive creativity can permeate society to become nutrients for future industries

洪建全基金會五十年來對教育和文化的支持，既是一個家族的精神財富，也等同於台灣社會文化的資產。

The Hong Foundation’s five decades support to education and culture is a family legacy that is synonymous with the social cultural heritage of Taiwan.

1953 年，礦工之子洪建全先生創立了「國際牌」這個家電品牌， 1962 年，洪建全與松下幸之助合資成立 「台灣松下電器股份有限公司」。在台灣還處於戒嚴時期的 1971 年，洪先生很有遠見地成立「洪建全教育文化基金會」，致力於提倡教育和文化。

In 1953, Hong Chienchuan (C.C.) (洪建全), the son of a miner, founded “Guojipai” (國際牌), the legendary home appliances brand which later became Panasonic Taiwan (台灣松下電器). In 1971, he established the Hong Foundation to advocate education and culture when Taiwan was still under martial law.

70 年代，洪建全基金會以《書評書目》雜誌開啟了文學評論的先聲；並首開當時台灣新局，以台灣收藏最豐的音樂黑膠唱片和電影資料，帶起了台灣民俗音樂的復興；在台灣經濟成長指數激增的 80 年代，基金會以「文經學苑」開創了人文與企業合一的先河；90 年代以「敏隆講堂」為名設立的現代學堂，人人在此學習文史哲藝課程與深度閱讀；到了 2000 年後期，透過委託及直接贊助，支持跨越各學科領域、當代藝術家的「覓計畫」，正式啟動。 在基金會多元經營又不斷開展的精神裡，始終有個核心價值是：藉著支持當代創作者來激發「創作文化」；創作者以作品來表達他們持續求新求變的典範。

Throughout the 70s, the Hong Foundation spawn the birth of literary criticism with the Shu Ping Shu Mu Review of Books and Bibliography (書評書目) publication; and brought on the Taiwanese folk music revival with trail-blazing vinyl compilations from its music and movie collection which was the largest of such in Taiwan then. During the exponential economic rise of Taiwan in the 80s, the Hong Foundation pioneered the integrated studies of humanities and entrepreneurship with the Culture For Business Academy (文經學苑). The 90s saw Minlong Forum’s (敏隆講堂) extensive dissemination of humanities education and reading cultures for adults. In late 2000s, Project Seek (覓計畫) was launched to support a range of interdisciplinary, contemporary artists through commissions and direct sponsorships.

過去五十年來，基金會影響了各領域的作家、表演藝術家、音樂家、電影製片人、國際級知名的編舞家……如雲門舞集創辦人林懷民和電影導演李安等才華橫溢的藝術家。

Underpinning the Hong Foundation’s diverse and evolving patronage, there remains one central tenet of fostering the “Culture of Creation” by supporting an ecosystem of creators of their time; creators that were shifting paradigms through their work at the time. Over the last 50 years, the Hong Foundation has influenced numerous writers, performance artists, musicians, film makers, artists of caliber in the ranks of internationally renown choreographer and dancer Lin Hwaimin (林懷民) of Cloud Gate Theatre (雲門舞集) and director Ang Lee (李安).

延續洪建全基金會之開創性傳承至下一個五十年，我們決心擴展並整合不同概念的多元發展，透過多面向的贊助，為當代深耕創作者的生態系統，深入培育「創作文化」的核心目標。在這個生態系統中，我們追求並擁護整體性、跨學科、未來創造者和創造未來者的理念所驅動的社會。因為，沒有創造者，就沒有文化，也就沒有未來。

Extending the Hong Foundation’s pioneering heritage into the next 50 years, we are determined to expand and underpin our diverse and evolving patronage into the central tenet of fostering the “Culture of Creation” by cultivating an Ecosystem of Creators for our time. In this ecosystem, we seek and champion holistic, interdisciplinary, society driven ideas from Creators of The Future and Future Creators. For without creators, there will be no culture, and no future.
