Our story


Established in the UK in 2023 by Anastasia and Igor Bukhman, the Bukhman Foundation is dedicated to creating a healthier, more creative, and more inclusive world.

We support Type 1 Diabetes research and emerging artists worldwide, helping great ideas make a bigger impact for a brighter future.


Type 1 Diabetes


Type 1 Diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune condition that affects millions of people. We support research that improves lives today and moves us closer to a future cure.



Arts & Culture


The arts are essential to every thriving community and belong to everyone. Our goal is to expand their reach by empowering emerging artists to create bold new work, while fostering inclusive cultural spaces where creativity can flourish.
