The International Chodiev Foundation or ICF (Russian Международный фонд Шодиева), founded in 1996 by Uzbek billionaire Patokh Chodiev, is a non-governmental charitable organization headquartered in Liechtenstein.[1][2]
Established with the initial goal of providing grants and scholarship programs to support students at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), the International Chodiev Foundation has since evolved into an international philanthropic center for academic research, the arts and children's causes.[3] ICF is one of the oldest charitable foundations in modern Russia.[4] It operates in Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Japan.[5]
In 2020, in her book, "The Future of Philanthropy in Russia: The Experience of the International Chodiev Foundation," author Olga Monakhova analyzes the model of "one of the largest charitable foundations in the CIS".[6]
