The opening of the ‘Fostering Leadership’​ exhibition curated by the Vladimir Potanin Foundation provided a catalyst for dialogue on the way in which Foundations can effectively fund ‘culture’.

The Russian International Olympic University (RIOU) today awarded its inaugural intake of students their Master of Sport Administration (MSA) qualifications after they all successfully completed the University's Olympic-focused 10-month program of study.

Vladimir Potanin will provide financial support of 19 mln rub to eight Russian endowment foundations. It was announced June 2 at the Conference "Endowments: Pro et Contra” which took place in Moscow.

On April 15, 2014 Russia Donors Forum presented the third annual report on the state of foundations in Russia. This report reflects on the changes that have taken place in the country and in the foundation sector in particular during 2013. The main focus of the 2013 report is philanthropy development in Russian regions.

In September 2012 Vladimir Potanin Charity Foundation and Russian International Olympic University (RIOU) will announce a special contest for applicants wishing to complete the Master of Sport Administration (MSA) educational programme.
