The Fund was established from a donation of 99 390.69 PLN and its assets are further increased by gifts from private and business donors. 2004 was the second year of Beata Pawlak Award. The prizes went to Piotr Kłodkowski, for a cycle of articles Sumptuous Taste of the Orient, published in the Znak monthly, and to Andrzej Stasiuk for the book Riding to Babadag (Czarne Publishing House, 2004).
