About Us

An alliance of Demidov descendants united to promote the important historical, cultural and philanthropic contributions of our ancestral family. The 'European Demidoff Foundation' was founded in Switzerland on 28 November 2022 as a Swiss Association in accordance with art. 60 ff of the Swiss Civil Code. Given that it is no longer feasible that the 'European Demidoff Foundation' will register in the near nor medium term as a proper 'Foundation' in Switzerland, an Amendment was introduced and passed on 22 November 2024 to formally change the name to the 'European Demidoff Association', so correctly aligning with its actual legal status. The European Demidoff Association continues to be an entirely independent and separate, successor organisation to the London Branch of the International Demidoff Foundation.
