Boghossian Foundation (Friends of Fund)

Heritage and culture

Philanthropists support projects of the Boghossian Foundation which aims to propagate humanist ideas and better reciprocal comprehension of the East and West.

What is it about?

The Fund was created on the initiative of philanthropic friends. They use their own network and that of the private foundation Boghossian Foundation to collect donations. The funds collected are used to financially support various projects of the organisation.

 

The Boghossian Foundation was created in 1992 by Robert Boghossian and his two sons, Jean and Albert, jewellers of Armenian origin, with the primary objective of contributing to development and education.

During its first fifteen years of existence, the Foundation focused mainly on improving the living conditions of young people in Armenia and Lebanon, enabling them to cultivate their potential for a better future. Its philanthropic action embraces a whole series initiatives.

Convinced that their Foundation’s work needed to extend beyond this humanitarian approach and dedicate itself to humanist values, Jean and Albert Boghossian took in 2006 the Foundation into a new phase in its evolution.

When looking for a suitable location, the Villa Empain emerged as a clear choice, a symbolic beacon of an era and of Brussel’s Art Deco architecture. The Boghossian Foundation purchased the Villa at a critical time, just as the damage it had suffered was about to become irreversible.

After dedicating four years to its complete restoration, the Boghossian Foundation opened the Villa Empain as a Centre of Art and Dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures in 2010. Directed by Louma Salamé since 2016, it has already welcomed more than 600, 000 visitors.

The Founders want to support various projects of the Boghossian Foundation.
