Charitable Foundation

The Regional Public Charity Foundation for Seriously ill and Abandoned Children (hereafter referred to as the Foundation) was founded by the Alexander Men Help Group in 1997.

During all these years, the Foundation has accumulated rich experience in fundraising and in determining the key directions of money use so as to improve and develop the medical help that is provided to patients of the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital.

On the basis of this agreement, the Foundation uses charity donations to buy medications and equipment for some hospital departments, provides personal help to patients by paying for some kinds of treatment that cannot provided to them for free (including treatment in foreign clinics if necessary), supports implementation of novel medical technologies at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital.
