THE TIM BERGLING FOUNDATION WAS CREATED BY KLAS BERGLING AND ANKI LIDÉN AND THEIR FAMILY AFTER THE DEATH OF THEIR SON TIM BERGLING, ALSO KNOWN AS AVICII - ONE OF THE MOST ACCLAIMED AND BELOVED PRODUCERS/PERFORMERS/SONGWRITERS IN MODERN MUSIC. TIM’S PARENTS HAVE ENDOWED THE FOUNDATION WITH A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION FROM HIS ESTATE AND WILL DIRECT PROCEEDS FROM FUTURE AVICII PROJECTS AND THE RECENT RELEASE OF THE POSTHUMOUS ALBUM ”TIM” (2019) TO THE FOUNDATION.

THE TIM BERGLING FOUNDATION WILL ADVOCATE FOR THE RECOGNITION OF SUICIDE AS A GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY AND PROMOTE REMOVING THE STIGMA ATTACHED TO THE DISCUSSION OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. IT WILL SUPPORT SCIENCE-BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT ENGAGE IN RESEARCH INTO THE CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF SUICIDE, PARTICULARLY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

ADDITIONALLY, THE FOUNDATION WILL SUPPORT NON-PROFITS THAT ADDRESS ISSUES FOR WHICH TIM HAD A PASSION SUCH AS CLIMATE CHANGE, PRESERVATION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES, GLOBAL HUNGER, AND MORE.
