THE SOLOVIEV FOUNDATION’S ARTISTIC APPROACH TO PHILANTHROPY
BY CARA GIBBS
Time and again we’re collectively confronted with the somber hues of adversity and challenges, but through the struggles, a canvas of hope often reveals itself. One such stroke of ambition comes in the form of the Soloviev Foundation. The charitable arm of the Soloviev Group, the Foundation’s ethos is rooted in compassion with the unwavering objective of advancing humanitarianism, environmental stewardship, and education.
At the heart of this philanthropic establishment lies a reverence for art, and respect for its profound ability to bridge diversity with a nuanced and common language. Like art, the Soloviev Foundation recognizes its transformative power and embraces its potential to shape a better future.
Exemplifying a commitment to present and future generations, the foundation was instrumental in the establishment of Marymount University’s Center for Professional Ethics and Social Responsibility. By partnering with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), the Foundation has crafted a digital ark, a platform transcending borders to combat the shadows that threaten our most vulnerable. The Soloviev Foundation has also cast its support behind “Sport at the Service of Humanity,” a Vatican-led project that teaches values to underprivileged children with the grace of a parable, ensuring that lessons transcend the playing fields and bolster character.
St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, a sanctuary for young warriors battling the adversaries of pediatric diseases, finds its walls reinforced by the Foundation’s generosity. Seeking to deliver health and hope, the Soloviev Foundation plays the role of a steadfast partner, casting a spotlight on the courage of the children and families facing these hardships.
Yet, the Foundation’s brush does not limit itself to large institutions. It also finds inspiration in the local hues of Riverhead, New York, where through the Family Community Life Center, the Soloviev Foundation pledges to nurture the roots of community, ensuring that the branches of social, educational, recreational, and cultural programs flourish. And on Long Island’s South Fork, the South Hampton Animal Shelter received a gift to support its ongoing and faithful work.
From the bustling energy of New York to the serene shores of Delray Beach, Florida, the Soloviev Foundation supports organizations like the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreation Center and the Roots and Wings Foundation. Its donations ensure that education leads to empowerment and literacy becomes a guiding light for young minds looking for a brighter future. Meanwhile, the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation feels the warmth of the Foundation’s contribution, protecting and preserving the fragile ecoregion.
Ukraine’s plight echoes in the Foundation’s gift to Americares, providing medical assistance to refugees. And in supporting the Wounded Warrior Project, the Soloviev Foundation’s donation conveys a deep gratitude for service and recognizes that healing the wounds of war requires a collective embrace.
Resembling an artist’s brush that moves with intention and compassion, the Soloviev Foundation is more than a vehicle for benevolence. With each stroke, it redefines philanthropy, and transforms the practice into a shared experience of humanity.
