About the Foundation
The Soloviev Foundation is the charitable giving arm of the Soloviev Group, dedicated to supporting the efforts of those working across humanitarian, environmental, and educational causes.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple and intentionally broad: to help make a better world. We pride ourselves on the diversity of our partners in this work. The Foundation’s gifts go to both large, long-established institutions addressing global crises and concerns, and smaller, hyperlocal organizations serving the populations in need within their communities.
Our Process
Our process and criteria for determining the recipients of Soloviev Foundation gifts are straightforward. We identify a need that aligns with our values and seek out the nonprofit organizations best-suited to address that need most effectively and which can make the largest impact. While all causes are considered in our giving plan, we are especially committed to supporting at-risk children, promoting values in society, and encouraging social responsibility.
Philanthropic Initiatives
The Gallery & Collection
The Soloviev Foundation is pleased to share its collection with the public for the first time in more than 20 years. Collection highlights include works by Alberto Giacometti, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Henry Moore, and many other significant artists.
Selections from the Collection
Beyond making its collection accessible to the public, The Soloviev Foundation is also committed to engaging with contemporary artists, supporting emerging curators and scholars, and developing educational programs.
Gallery Exhibitions
The Soloviev Foundation Gallery features rotating exhibitions drawing from its expansive collection. Following an inaugural display of collection highlights, the current exhibition, something you cannot hold, places collection artworks into conversation with photographic work by four contemporary artists. Organized as a sequence of dialogues across eras and media, something you cannot hold runs through March 2, 2025 in the ground floor gallery of the Soloviev Group’s iconic tower at 9 West 57th Street.
