What Taganka children`s fund charity does

Taganka Children's Fund Charity (Региональный общественный благотворительный фонд «Таганский детский фонд») is a Moscow-based charitable non-profit organization founded in 1991, providing integrated social services to vulnerable families across Moscow. The fund serves 700+ families in difficult life situations, including single-parent families, large families, and families with children or parents with disabilities. Its service portfolio spans children's educational clubs (English, drawing, guitar, art classes, T-club for teens aged 14-18), psychological counseling, free legal aid, humanitarian aid distribution, cultural-aesthetic development programs (excursions, theater visits), and social adaptation services for children with disabilities including the 'Rostochek' rehabilitation group. The fund operates three physical locations in Moscow: the headquarters at Bolshoy Rogozhsky pereulok, the inclusive theater 'Taganka Shed' venue at Marksistsky pereulok, and the 'Potentsial' Center at Bibliotechnaya street which offers BOS (Biofeedback) therapy, developmental classes, and sessions with logopedists, psychologists, defectologists, and neuropsychologists.

The fund's signature program is the inclusive theater 'Taganka Shed', established in partnership with London's Chickenshed Theatre Trust to bring inclusive theater methodology to Russia for children aged 7-17 with and without disabilities. Revenue is derived primarily from Moscow municipal government grants (Committee for Public Relations, Department of Labor and Social Protection), individual and corporate donations, small fee-based educational classes (RUB 2,000/month standard, RUB 500/month subsidized for registered families), and merchandise sales including custom New Year postcards priced at RUB 80-100 per unit at volume. Distribution channels include direct service at physical centers, municipal social services referrals, online webinars, and integration with the Moscow 'Active Citizen' platform's Million Prizes program. The organization employs 23 staff including a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, family support specialists, an administrator, commercial director, and chief accountant, led by Chairman Troitskaya Tatiana Viktorovna and Program Director Borzov Sergey Petrovich.

The fund has evolved beyond its initial 1991 mandate of humanitarian aid distribution into a professional social services provider, also operating newer initiatives including the 'Support Corps' volunteer program producing camouflage nets and bunker candles for the SVO zone, the 'Serdechno' vocational workshop teaching decorative arts to parents and youth with disabilities, and the Parent Training Simulator digital tool. Strategic partnerships span Moscow municipal bodies, Tomsk State University (academic cooperation), Chickenshed London (inclusive theater methodology), and corporate donors including AECOM, Salym Petroleum, Anglo-American School, and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
