The M.T. Abraham Foundation (MTA Foundation) is a non-profit cultural institution, which is part of the Israeli M.T. Abraham Group. Its headquarters are in Tel Aviv, Israel, and its part of the collection is on permanent display in Mostar. Its stated intent is to promote public appreciation of the most important styles of Modernism: Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Cubo-Futurism, Futurism, Constructivism and Suprematism by collecting pieces that can be loaned "for the sole purpose of display and study by public institutions,"^[1] and to present most effectively the first half of the 20th century, a period that saw revolutionary tendencies shape the art scene.

Through its publishing department, the Foundation promotes, publishes and facilitates research related to its collection. It also supports discussions on the artistic trends that shaped fine art from the 19th to the 21st century. In June 2019 the foundation pledged a donation from its collection to the State Hermitage Museum in Russia valued at 7 million (USD). This donation consisted of paintings and sculptures by the Russian artist Vladimir Sterligov,^[2] and the French impressionist, Edgar Degas.^[3]
