The Foundation was privileged to be supported by the following local and international organisations in the past:

1. Action Aid Uganda worked with CCFU to examine and strengthen the engagement of cultural institutions, in recognition of their important role in contributing to local governance and social cohesion in Uganda. CCFU was also supported to strengthen the engagement of cultural institutions in the oil and gas sector. As a result, Guidelines on Oil and Gas were developed.
2. Culture at work Africa supported a joint project by CCFU and the Community Peace Museums and Heritage Foundation in Kenya that sought to create new spaces for the youth to appreciate inter-cultural dialogue and explore their creativity on themes that sought to address issues of public interest. The Cultural heritage clubs in Uganda and Peace clubs in Kenya enabled guided and consistent engagement with the youth.
3. Diakonia supported CCFU’s initiative to “Enhance women’s empowerment using culturally-defined rights” in selected communities in Northern Uganda (Gulu, Kitgum and Lamwo Districts). It was anticipated that, through this project, women and girls would develop their ability to use cultural values and practices in private and public spaces to defend their rights, while relevant cultural institutions were expected to increase their use of cultural values and practices in decision-making and conflict resolution fora to defend the rights of women in their area of jurisdiction.
4. European Union (EU)   has supported the Foundation to safeguard and promote built and natural heritage through documentation of historical buildings and sites in Kampala, Jinja, Entebbe and Fort Portal. Outputs of this project include maps of historical buildings and sites in Kampala, Jinja, Entebbe and Fort Portal, a mobile app and a book ‘Beyond Reeds and Bricks – Historical buildings and sites in Kampala, Jinja and Entebbe‘. The EU in collaboration with the SOGEA-SATOM supported CCFU to produce a book titled ‘Our Railways. Our History’, which celebrates the history of railways in Uganda, their role in the lives of Ugandans who lived and worked along them, and their place in the country’s political and economic development. This work also resulted in the establishment of the first ever Railway Museum in Uganda.
5. Development Research and Training (DRT), with the Uganda National NGO Forum financed CCFU to engage 320 clan leaders from 5 regions to deliberate on their role and contribution to development, the outcome of which was the development of five Clan Leaders’ Charters – in the respective local languages and in English.

With this assistance, CCFU produced and launched a map of the city’s historical sites and buildings, trained owners of historical buildings and produced documentation on selected historical edifices. This work aimed at contributing to an enhanced, sustainable protection and management of Kampala’s built heritage. It has also resulted to continued support to owners and managers of historical properties in the city and is expected to lead to legislation in regard to the preservation of historical properties in Kampala. In 2022, Irish Aid contributed money towards our ongoing crowd fundraising campaign to safeguard historic buildings, sites and monuments in Mbale City.

The film highlighted the efforts of museums owners in preserving and promoting Uganda’s cultural heritage, their experiences as well their contribution to local development through income generation.
10. The Humanist Institute for Cooperation with Developing Countries (HIVOS)and the Kosmopolis Institute in the Netherlands supported CCFU to implement the “Promoting Pluralism Knowledge Programme (PKP)” which involved research, documentation and advocacy activities to better understand pluralism and managing diversity in the local context and engaging with PPKP regional partners in India, Indonesia and the Netherlands.
