Concerts and performances are only one of the foundations 'many activities: they also hold programs geared toward the special characteristics of each locality. The foundation in Hsinkang, a farming area, offers lectures on agricultural pollution; that in Peikang, a religious center, sponsors classes and exhibitions on Buddhism; and Chishan Magazine has given talks and seminars on preserving a historic section of the city.
藝術表演只是基金會眾多活動之一，各地方的文教基金會，也都針對當地特質設計項目：像是新港人以務農為主，便舉辦農業污染講座；北港是宗教中心，常推出佛學講座、佛教文物展；旗山雜誌社則針對老街即將拆除，進行討論及座談。
