Heritage Foundation of Pakistan is a Pakistani heritage and humanitarian aid organization founded by Yasmeen Lari and Suhail Zaheer Lari in 1980.
In 1984, when there were plans to demolish the historically significant Hindu Gymkhana, Karachi building because it had somewhat deteriorated due to lack of maintenance, Heritage Foundation Pakistan intervened to save it. After that, the building was designated as a Protected Sindh Cultural Heritage building and is still being used as a facility that houses the National Academy of Performing Arts .[1][2]
