The Tim Bergling Foundation is a foundation created by the family of the Swedish DJ Tim Bergling, known as Avicii, to "honour his memory and continue to act in his spirit".[1][2] Avicii died by suicide in 2018, after a prolonged battle with mental health issues.[3][4] The foundation was originally set up to tackle mental health awareness and suicide prevention in order to help prevent other families from experiencing similar events. It was later expanded to work on climate change, protection of endangered species, business management, and nature conservation.[1][5][2]
