The Art & Ubuntu Trust has been formed to gather knowledge and information about Ernest Mancoba's aesthetic and philosophy and to ensure that his legacy lives on by disseminating it as widely as possible. The non-profit trust does this via educational programmes such as workshops and lectures, and by exhibiting the artwork of Ernest Mancoba and other artists who are inspired by African aesthetic principles and ubuntu: umuntu ngumuntu ngabanye abantu (a person is a person by and because of other people). An Ernest Mancoba scholarship fund is also under consideration.
