Established as an affiliate of the Tolstoy Foundation, Friends of Tolstoy complements the experience and the knowledge of the Tolstoy Foundation by enlisting the efforts of motivated young professionals to further the Foundation’s humanitarian pursuits. These young professionals, who are the next generation of humanitarians, have specific goals to mobilize resources - human and financial - in order to assist the continuing mission and international efforts of the Foundation and the causes championed by Alexandra Lvovna Tolstoy throughout her life.
