Who We Are

A registered charity, the Belomarkovic Charitable Foundation helps those who cannot help themselves.

We stand up for the well-being, human, civil and legal rights of vulnerable groups who lack the capacity for self-care and self-protection, including the elderly, people nearing the end of life, and disadvantaged and marginalized populations.

What We Do

Our Foundation has a clear call to action: expose social injustices where equals are treated unequally.

The work we do moves society closer to correcting the systemic forces that create inequalities.

As defined by the mission of our Foundation, we support numerous projects and charitable initiatives across Canada. Throughout all the endeavors we are a part of, there is a fundamental focus on individual dignity, the protection of human rights, and improving the overall well-being of the most fragile members of our society.

Our Mission

The Foundation is on the mission to promote, support and advocate for the human, civil and legal rights of vulnerable groups of people who lack the capacity for self-care and self-protection with the purpose of advancing dignity and improving the quality of their lives.

We are committed to the principle that all people are created equal and that every human being has the right to be treated with dignity and respect no matter what their circumstances.
