The Bhutan Foundation was established in the United States to support government and non-governmental organizations in Bhutan towards the conservation of the natural environment, sustainable development (education and youth, health care, economic opportunity etc), good governance, and the preservation and promotion of culture and art. To further promote the understanding of Bhutan in the US, the foundation seeks to increase the mutually beneficial association between Bhutanese and U.S. organizations in both the public and private sectors.
