Door to the Donors Club is Always Open

The Foundation fund Donors Club is based on individual donors, who through their smaller donations create a greater sum, thus being capable of supporting more projects. Up until 2008, the donations were in the spirit of the idea: „who gives once, gives thrice“. A great idea of the Slovak community foundations associated in the AKNS! They approached two major partners and if the member of the club donated 1 euro, they added two more.

This model worked well and it was not for the quality of projects that the large Slovak players changed the objects of their donations. That is just how fundraising sometimes goes. All the more were we pleased when at the meeting of the members of the Club in the Panorama Club on 1st June, our guests liked the presentations of the projects so much that they decided to support several of them and we were able to return to the principle of „matching“ at least for 2017.

We extend our thanks to the companies Adient Slovakia and TIMM SLOVAKIA. Thanks to their interest, the total sum of support and the number of successful projects increased.

The first time that the Donors Club awarded funds was in 2004 and one of the first members remarked when speaking to a reporter: „It is unfortunate that the purse of money from which we gave was not large enough to support everyone. Next time perhaps, thanks in part to You, who are reading these lines. Door to the Donors Club is always open“.
