The Globee Awards for Impact recognize organizations, teams and individuals whose initiatives deliver tangible, measurable results and drive positive change in communities, organizations and industries. To receive a Gold award, an entry must score at least 8.5 out of 10 in an assessment by independent international judges. The Best of Category distinction is awarded to the highest-scoring entry in each category. Previous Globee winners across various categories include major international companies such as SAP, Lenovo and IBM.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cToday, philanthropy is increasingly judged not by the volume of assistance provided, but by the lasting change it creates. For our Foundation, it is essential that our projects strengthen existing systems, build professional expertise and establish models that can operate and scale over the long term. This is how private philanthropy can make a meaningful contribution to the country\u2019s development,\u201d<\/em> <strong>said Almaz Sharman, Chair of the Board of Trustees of Bulat Utemuratov Foundation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Globee\u00ae Awards add to a growing list of international and professional honors received by the Foundation in recent years. In 2025, the Foundation won two EUROBAK Awards. Its multifunctional community culture and sports center in Kosshy, which opened to local residents in March 2025, was recognized in the Corporate and Social Responsibility category. The Foundation also received an award for its large-scale Autism Awareness Month campaign, which sought to raise public awareness of autism, promote inclusion and support families raising children with ASD. In 2024, EUROBAK recognized the Foundation\u2019s contribution to Kazakhstan\u2019s infrastructure development through the construction of a new airport terminal in Kyzylorda.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the American Chamber of Commerce in Kazakhstan (AmCham) presented the Foundation with an award in the Healthcare category for its Autism. One World for All program. In 2024, AmCham recognized its systematic philanthropic work and contribution to Kazakhstan\u2019s social development in the Public Service category.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThese awards matter to us not only as international recognition of the Foundation\u2019s work, but also as evidence of the growing maturity of systemic philanthropy in Kazakhstan. In recent years, we have progressed from participating in professional awards as nominees to contributing to their evaluation: since 2026, Foundation representatives have served on the juries of EUROBAK and AmCham, sharing their experience and helping recognize strong examples of corporate social responsibility and contributions to the country\u2019s development. We believe it is important not only to deliver our own projects, but also to foster a culture of sustainable and responsible philanthropy in Kazakhstan,\u201d<\/em> <strong>said Ainur Karbozova, CEO of Bulat Utemuratov Foundation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bulat Utemuratov Foundation was established in 2014 at the initiative of Kazakhstani entrepreneur and philanthropist Bulat Utemuratov.
