About
The Bukhman Foundation was established in 2023 by Anastasia and Igor Bukhman to help improve lives and create a better world - from supporting breakthroughs in medical research, to celebrating arts and culture, and improving access to quality education. Our mission is to foster a healthier, more creative, and more inclusive future for everyone.
We believe in support that not only directly assists beneficiaries but also contributes to societal advancement and we partner with both leading institutions and local groups across three key areas; Medical Research, Education, Arts & Culture.
