Our History

   The Foundation of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine was found in 1987 in Toronto, Ontario.

  Mr. Iwanusiw is the President of The Foundation of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine which funds research and publication of works dealing with Ukrainian culture, history, and education. Initially, the main activity was collecting funds and distributing bursaries to needy and socially active university students in Ukraine. As a result, over 2,000 such bursaries have been distributed over the last twenty years.

   Bozhena and Oleh have traveled the world.
