The Trenčín Foundation's Good Bazaar has been running with occasional breaks for fourteen years. Clowns Vlado Kulíšek and Adrián Ohrádka have become its regulars, and its home is the Christmas markets of the city of Trenčín. They lend each other atmosphere, spiced up in many years by personalities from the world of acting, music and presenting. On 20 December, we will be happy to welcome you again at Mierové námestie in Trenčín.

ŽiTo v Sýpke from Moravské Lieskové became the winners of the second 2025 round of the special game of Ludo that uses people instead of figurines. The citizen´s group achieved an amazing feat when they managed to transform the former granary into a new community educational centre where nature meets art and sharing of knowledge.
After eleven years, the live (and alive) game of Ludo of the Trenčín Foundation has returned to Trenčín. It was played in Noviny during the seventh year of the Fest Art Trenčín, where street artists reproduced a largescale mural from a renowned Swiss artist. The underpass on the Jesenského street has come alive.
For twenty years, the Trenčín Foundation has been addressing kind donors through the project “Open Your Heart, Donate a Book“ and offering a chance to give a gift of a book to children from families in difficult situations.
Trenčín Foundation sought to remind the public of some of the personalities that had lived or worked in Trenčín in an unusual manner. In cooperation with several people, artists and institutions, we installed four special benches in the wider centre of Trenčín.
In 2024, the Donors Club was interesting in three new ways: the call for proposals was opened for a new area – humanitarian aid, the meeting of donors took place in the Cafe KKC Hviezda and we reminisced about the beginnings of the Club, which means that the project has reached a significant milestone of 20 years.
