The Sadequain Foundation[1][2], a non-profit organization based in California, is dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of the renowned Pakistani artist and calligrapher Syed Sadequain Ahmad Naqvi[3]. Founded in 2007 by Dr. Salman Ahmad Naqvi, a nuclear scientist, the foundation aims to discover, digitize, and exhibit Sadequain's artwork and poetry. Through exhibitions[4], publications[5], and educational initiatives, the foundation seeks to inspire future generations and contribute to the global understanding of Pakistani art and culture.

Following Sadequain's death[6], a portion of his artworks and personal belongings were lost or misplaced. This, coupled with a rise in fraudulent activities involving his work. The Sadequain Foundation was established to address these challenges. The foundation ensures safeguarding Sadequain's artistic heritage. It researches and analyzes his works, establishing an archive for Sadequain. Through foundation's authentication processes, the foundation issues certificates of authenticity[7] for genuine Sadequain artworks, protecting collectors and preventing the proliferation of forgeries. The Sadequain Foundation is working for revitalizing Sadequain's legacy and artistic identity globally. Through a series of events, publications, and functions, the foundation has successfully introduced Sadequain's work to a wider audience, both domestically and internationally. These initiatives have not only increased public awareness of his artistic contributions but have also drawn a deeper appreciation for his style and techniques.
