POURQUOIPAS was founded in 2015 in Lausanne, Switzerland, with a mission to support cultural and social causes through the power of music. The organization was established by Irene Abrigo, who also serves as its founder and artistic director.

Over the years, in response to growing demand, POURQUOIPAS has evolved into three distinct sectors, each dedicated to a specific purpose:​​

• POURQUOIPAS Classic – Organizes events, supports artists and artistic projects.

• POURQUOIPAS Education – Promotes access to cultural and educational experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds.

• POURQUOIPAS Charity – Focuses on fundraising initiatives.​
