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 advocates for the recognition of suicide as a global health emergency and actively works to remove the stigma attached to suicide and mental health issues.
The foundation supports science-based organizations engaged in research and preventative actions against mental illness and suicide, particularly among young people.
Additionally, the foundation will support aid work in areas where Tim had a passion, such as climate change, global hunger and preservation of wildlife and endangered species.
