The Tolstoy Foundation is a non-profit charitable, philantropic organization. It was established on April 26, 1939 by Alexandra Tolstoy, youngest daughter of the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy.

It's original purpose was to help Russian refugies from Europe and Soviet Union. Later the foundation played an important role in helping Soviet displaced persons, dissidents and former Soviet citizens to settle in the West. Presently among its goals the foundation lists education and training programs world-wide. It also has under its care several old age homes in the United States, France and Latin America.
