The Rian de Waal Foundation was founded in 2012 to open up the legacy of Rian de Waal, one of the greatest Dutch concert pianists, to his audience and lovers of the piano repertoire.The foundation does this by releasing studio recordings and concert recordings by Rian de Waal. In addition, the foundation aims to help young talented musicians, especially pianists, in their development. For example to organize competitions and master classes, like a competition aimed at transcription, a phenomenon in romantic and virtuoso piano literature in which De Waal had a special interest, but also to organize a master class in accompaning songs. The song repertoire fascinated him enormously and was a fertile source of inspiration for his own interpretations of the piano solo literature.

The Foundation also encourages young composers to write for solo piano.
