Our Organization
Direct Impact Foundation (DIF) was established by Anastasia Gorgutsa and Pavel Chernyshov with a shared commitment to expanding opportunity and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. The Foundation works to increase access to safe housing, quality education, and programs that support children’s health and overall well-being. Through direct support and thoughtful engagement, DIF connects donors to efforts that create lasting, tangible impact - helping families achieve stability, opening doors to learning, and providing children with the resources and experiences they need to thrive.
