Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian

The Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (FCG) was created in 1956 by the will of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian who established its initial capital, and defined its statutory goals: "charity, art, education and science". With assets that are currently estimated at over 3000 million Euros, the Foundation runs numerous distributive programs in arts, education, health, cooperation with developing countries and science. The FCG operates an orchestra, a choir, two museums, and the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência.
