The Temerty Foundation was established in 1997 by James (Constantine) Temerty and his wife Louise, one of Canada’s largest philanthropists and donors. In 2020, the Foundation donated a record-breaking $250 million to the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine to establish the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education.
The Temerty Foundation has carried out several charitable projects in Ukraine. The most prominent include a $5 million donation to construct a new library at the Center of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv. Additionally, the foundation has contributed $1 million towards UNITED24 in 2022 and a substantial $10 million donation towards humanitarian and educational projects, focusing on initiatives that promote the mental well-being of Ukrainian children.
James Temerty also founded and chaired the Kyiv-Mohyla Business School.
The Temerty Foundation is dedicated to supporting research and the dissemination of knowledge about the Holodomor of 1932-1933, which was a genocide of the Ukrainian people. The Foundation donated approximately 1 million Canadian dollars to found the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium in Toronto, which has now become the world’s leading research center on this topic.
