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.

It has been nineteen years that anonymous donors can donate to children from families in social need. The small readers go to kindergartens and primary schools mostly in Trenčín, but also in Trenčianske Jastrabie, Bánovce nad Bebravou, Stará Turá and for the second year, we will be providing books to children from the Shelter and Centre of Social Services in Prievidza.

After two years hiatus, we are once again looking forward to meeting you at the Good Bazaar of the Trenčín Foundation. On the 17th December on the Peace Square in Trenčín, we will welcome two celebrities, the moderator Alena Heribanová and actor Ady Hajdu. If you visit the Christmas Fair on this day, come and have a bit of fun with our friends, the mime Vlado Kulíšek, and clown Aďo Ohrádka, and why not buy a thing or two for your loved ones.

The Trenčín Foundation has been turning to kind donors for eighteen years with its pre-Christmas project “Open Your Heart, Donate a Book“, and supplying their gifts in the form of a children´s book to little readers from families in temporary or long-term social need.
