The Rybakov Foundation is a private philanthropic organization, created by Ekaterina and Igor Rybakov in 2015. The Foundation's mission is to create a tradition of developing society with our own hands. To carry out our mission, we have developed and adopted the concept of "School is the center of society" which will help to change the socio-educational environment in schools for the better. This kind of environment provides the background for a common, collective experience for all its participants. A school's teachers and parents, pupils and graduates, headteachers and associates are not divided into suppliers and consumers of information, knowledge, or services, but participate equally in the creation of a new educational experience. The creation of such an environment is not just a new way of doing things, but also a new way of thinking, about collective creativity, cooperation, and living together. To realize our mission, we have established the aim of providing high-quality education for everyone. This will be our investment into achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 4, set by the United Nations.
Dear friends!
In conditions of self-isolation in connection with COVID-19, it is a challenge for all of us — not to succumb to panic, to retain the ability to make decisions and act.
For all the schools in the country that we think about every day, this is a real challenge, and we wish schools to pass it with dignity and faith in their mission!
We are sure: in the new conditions, the role of the school is being recognized, because many parents are only now beginning to appreciate the work that teachers do every day! Obviously, the schools that have become the center of the community: built trusting relationships with students and parents, receive support from partners — they are the ones who most effectively cope with the situation.
What we do:
— Rybakov Foundation, in cooperation with three non-profit organizations, will provide 500 children from large families with computers for online learning.
— We extend grant access to our online course "School as the Center of Society"
— Together with the CORE, our impact partner, we launched the "How to organize distance learning" pedagogical marathon and opened the platform for online school education
— Our partners Geek Teachers, with the support of the Rybakov Foundation, have launched the "Apps School", an online course for teachers

We are convinced that a tradition of developing society
with our own hands needs to be cultivated in school, since
it is precisely here that children and teenagers spend
the majority of their time, where their identities are formed,
and where opportunities are opened up to them. That is why
the focus of our work is school as the center of society.
A good school is not just the walls, facilities,
or impressive exam results.

The aim of the Rybakov Foundation

capable of creating and implementing
socially significant projects that the school
community can participate in. This is how
the Rybakov Foundation's network
of effective partnerships is developing.

A truly good school consists of an emotionally healthy
and fruitful socio-educational environment.
We help to create this kind of environment and
we also encourage others to create school societies
that teachers and school administration can
attend, along with pupils and parents, grateful
graduates, entrepreneurs, active local residents,
and representatives of the authorities. A school
society is an environment where everyone can show
their initiative, participate in a common task, and come to believe in their own strength. This is how we are defeating social apathy. And we are implementing our mission: to establish a tradition of developing society with our own hands.
