The founder is Miroslav Hradil, nature and animal enthusiast, traveler and explorer. In 2014, he decided to establish his own donation fund in order to collect and subsequently allocate financial means in the form of grants to individuals or NGOs, which cultivate activities to improve the life of people and animals, following the idea: „If you give somebody food, you will feed him for a day, if you teach him how to cook, you will feed him for life“.
Financial means of the fund are meant for Trenčín municipality.
Depositors of the financial means are the founder and any individuals or corporations who respect the message and mission of the fund.
Allocation of the funds is put forward by a grant committee, which is made out of the founder, representatives of Trenčín Foundation and any other members proposed by the founder. Final decision rests with the Board of Directors of the Foundation. No legal entitlement exists for granting the funds and there is no appeal possible against the decision of the Board.
To apply for the grant, it is necessary to submit a written application. It has to contain at least the following information:
a) brief characteristics of the project and its purpose
b) the requested sum
c) identification data of the applicant
The recipients of the funds can be NGOs and individuals, whose activities correspond with the mission of the fund.
