What we do
For over 20 years, we have been building and caring for the network of Polish community foundations and involving ourselves in activities aimed at the common good.
We inspire and support
We are committed to strengthening local philanthropy and building communities where all residents can actively participate in initiatives that improve their quality of life and the environment they live in. That is why we conduct information activities on reviving civic engagement, and we promote and support the initiatives of community foundations and their partners. They are examples of good practices that different organisations can replicate elsewhere.
We educate and advise
We strengthen community foundations and their potential, support their activities and improve the work of leaders and the teams they manage. We conduct comprehensive and practical workshops that help gain managerial skills and show how the participants, using innovative tools based on design thinking, collective impact methodology and unconventional solutions, can independently plan and implement strategic and tactical activities consistent with the mission, goals, and philosophy of the organization.
The most popular training sessions are:
The Aware and Competent Social Leader:
- how to be an effective leader - individual and team effectiveness and building good relationships.
Zarządzanie organizacją:
- Creating a marketing strategy for the organization as well as building and strengthening its image,
- Effective communication and building relationships with the environment,- Creative problem solving of social issues
We create change
We create space and look for development opportunities for pro-social and business activities based on shared goals and values. Acting on the basis of the collective impact principle, together with our partners, we build an effective system of support for new and effective ways of solving social issues.

In 2020, we implemented a nationwide competition aimed at promoting an active lifestyle for children and adolescents, supporting 1,000 medical workers’ children involved in the fight against the SARS-CoV2 virus and COVID-19 disease. 20 local organizations, including 15 community foundations belonging to the federation, coordinated the campaign in individual voivodeships and selected 1000 students from all over Poland who received gift cards for 4F clothing stores worth PLN 500 each. The awards were funded by the 4F Pomaga Foundation.
We offer many different ways of cooperation both for community foundations, business partners and the academic community.
