Keith established the Foundation shortly before he died to do three things:

1. to preserve and exhibit his artwork.
2. to provide support to not-for-profit organizations that assist children, as well as organizations involved in education, research and care related to HIV and AIDS.
3. to be a source of accurate information about his life and work (this website is an example).
