We motivate people to engage in public matters, and to take responsibility for the state of the society, the environment and the communities in which they live.
We intend to encourage creative people and the implementation of their useful ideas that can in a long or short run help other people, communities or the society as a whole. We strive to disseminate the ideas of volunteering, charity and environmental protection throughout the country. Together with you.
We have supported active communities through the Active Community grant program with the Orange Foundation, which supports cultural and creative centers in the regions of Slovakia.
Within the first year of the program we supported 5 organizations.
The second year of the program is intended for 8 selected centers that completed the first year of the development leadership program with Bystriny and centers that have long-term cooperation with the Orange Foundation:
