Our 2025 Charity:

Golden Lotus Foundation

Established in 2011, the Golden Lotus Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Colorado Springs whose mission is to celebrate Asian tradition and inspire passion for Asian heritage through community resources and education programs, and to expand support for Asian culture projects. 

Foundation History:

Since 2011, Golden Lotus Foundation has catalyzed a lively local scene centered around the experience of Asian art and cultural traditions, primarily from China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam and India. Diverse programs throughout the year have included celebrating traditional holidays, folklore story times for children, Asian dining experiences, haiku workshops, music performances, art exhibitions, lectures and panels. This vivid diversity is also evidenced in the attendees of Golden Lotus Foundation events, who might be of Asian descent, military members once stationed in Asia, exchange students, and Asian tourists visiting our region.

Botanical Garden:

Golden Lotus Foundation strongly believes in the value of a world-class botanical garden, Asian Cultural Heritage Center / Museum for Colorado Springs. These types of venues have proven very valuable in revitalizing downtown areas and in attracting millions of tourists to cities like San Francisco, Houston, and Portland OR. In this context, we would like to honor the Asian pioneers who helped build the railroads, tended the agricultural farms, worked the mines, and settled in El Paso County with a permanent exhibit.
