The Rybakov Foundation (Russian: Рыбаков Фонд) is a private philanthropic organization, founded by Ekaterina Rybakova and Igor Rybakov in 2015. It operates in the fields of socio-educational development, school communities, and prize philanthropy, and may participate in both national and international partnerships.

History

The foundation was established in December 2015 by Igor Rybakov and Ekaterina Rybakova.[2][3] Rybakov has applied business management approaches to the governance of the organization’s activities. Initial focus areas included the development of education, support for entrepreneurship, and work with non-commercial entities.[4][2][5] The Foundation also sponsored an annual #EdCrunch conference for new technologies in education.[6][7]

In 2017, the foundation partnered with the Moscow City University, Projectoria NGO and the World Bank to launch Collab Challenge, a Scratch programming competition for secondary school students in Russia.[8] In May 2017, the foundation and Higher School of Economics established a business accelerator program focused on technologies for philanthropy (PhilTech).[9]

From 2015 to 2018, Ekaterina Rybakova and Igor Rybakov contributed 1 billion rubles to the Rybakov Foundation.[2] In March 2019, they announced an additional contribution of 1 billion rubles.[10]

In March 2019, Ekaterina Rybakova and Igor Rybakov presented the concept “School as the Center of Society,” which focused on socio-educational development and referenced the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4.[10] At the same time, the foundation announced the launch of the Rybakov Prize, an initiative supported by UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education and the World Bank.[11]

In February 2020, during the first Rybakov Prize ceremony, the founders announced a commitment of US$100 million over a ten-year period for educational development initiatives.[1] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rybakov Foundation distributed laptops to 232 multi-child families across various regions.[12]

Major projects

School education

In 2016, Rybakov Foundation launched the #iTeacher annual all-Russian competition for educational innovators.[13][14] The following year it launched “TOP School”, an all-Russian competition of school projects.[15][16] In September 2019, the foundation merged two competitions into Rybakov School Award.[17][18] In 2019, the award had 2,846 applications, 50 individual winners and 20 team (schools) winners.[19]

Preschool education

In November 2016, Rybakov Foundation launched Rybakov Preschool Award, an annual award named after a prominent Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky, to support preschool education projects and individual educators.[20][21] It is also known for its Summer School, an intensive professional development program for the competition's winners.[22] The total award pool is 30 million rubles ($375,991).[23]

Rybakov Prize

The Rybakov Prize was announced in March 2019 as an annual award in the field of educational philanthropy.[10][1] The total prize fund is reported as US$1.2 million, with one grand prize and two additional awards.[24]

In 2019, the prize received 460 applications from more than 40 countries.[1] The jury consisted of representatives from international organizations, education institutions, and private sector entities.[25] That year’s recipients included Abdul Abdulkerimov (Luminary Center), Olga Zubkova (Tetradka Druzhby National Association for the Development of Education), and Boris Bulayev (Educate!).[1]

In 2016 the foundation was among top 9 non-profit organizations in Russia, according to Ogoniok magazine.[2] In 2019 and 2020 it was among top 20 private non-profit organizations in Russia, according to Forbes Russia.[23][26] In 2020, the Foundation ranked third in the list of private charity organizations in Russia, according to RAEX rating agency.[27]
