Annual Report 2007
Our Donors
We could carry out our activities in 2007 thanks to grants and donations made by Polish and foreign private and public institutions, commercial organizations and individual donors, including taxpayers who donated us 1% of their personal income tax.
The majority of our programs were financed thanks to the funds donated by the Open Society Institute, established by George Soros, American financier and philanthropist, the founder of a network of civic organizations active in more than 50 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the United States. From the Ford Foundation's grants we ran Citizens in Action and For Tolerance programs, the latter was also supported by the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and Culture. From the grant donated by Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe we co-financed Watchdog Initiatives program. The Robert Bosch Foundation co-funded Community Initiatives Partnership program and the Remembrance, Responsibility and Future Foundation co-funded Memoria program. Our activities in the sphere of international cooperation were co-financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Our programs aimed to equalize educational opportunities of children and youth were financed from 1% personal income tax donations from individuals, and the donations of Agora Foundation, Commercial Union Poland insurance company, Nestle SA Poland, and the revenue from an endowed M Fund established by a Polish private donor, and from gifts by Helen and Peter Maxwell, who supported us through the Friends of Stefan Batory Foundation, the U.S.
