Our mission

Since 1992, the Boghossian Foundation has been committed to improving the living conditions of young people in Armenia and Lebanon, encouraging them to develop their potential with a view to a better future. Its philanthropic action embraces a whole series of social, educational and cultural projects.

Following the 1988 Armenian earthquake, the Boghossian family invested heavily in the country’s reconstruction, financing various educational, economic and cultural programmes in a number of its cities. The Boghossian Foundation is also actively involved in Lebanon with humanitarian, educational and philanthropic activities.

Eager to support artistic creation, the Boghossian Foundation rewards talents in Armenia, Lebanon and Belgium each year with a number of prizes. Since 2010, the Villa Empain’s artist-in-residence programme, conducive to creation and intercultural encounters, has welcomed artists from all backgrounds and varied disciplines.
