About Baobichen Foundation

Baobichen Foundation is a San Francisco–based nonprofit that produces public-facing visualizations, interactive educational tools, and digital-preservation projects to make research and cultural heritage accessible to broad audiences. Its work includes educational games, immersive digital reconstructions, public exhibitions, and community reading/arts events aimed at improving science, health, and cultural literacy. Research and public records were cross-checked against the foundation’s own website and IRS filing records (Form 990-series entries under EIN 87-2388371). The organization is an active, donor-facing charity with recent projects and public programming (notable activity during 2023–2025) and recorded foundation-level financials and Form 990 filings consistent with a functioning private foundation/public charity operating from San Francisco.
