Dobrá rodina

What Dobrá rodina does

Dobrá rodina o.p.s. is a Czech public-benefit non-profit founded in 2012 and headquartered at Klimentská 1246/1, Prague. It is the largest foster-family accompaniment organization in the Czech Republic, currently supporting approximately 1,200 foster and adoptive families across all 14 regions (krajs) with a staff of 51–100 employees and a network of roughly 100 trained volunteers. The organization delivers ongoing social-work accompaniment, PRIDE-model preparation courses (48–72 hours, offered in Czech and English, including dedicated tracks for transitional foster care), crisis counseling, and psychological services for families caring for children with developmental trauma or attachment issues.

Its product portfolio spans three layers: (1) core accompaniment and case management delivered by assigned social workers, (2) a structured educational offering of in-person seminars, online seminars via Zoom/MS Teams, weekend courses, e-learning modules, and audiobooks for self-study, and (3) a content and outreach layer including the Dobrý podcast on Spotify, a blog, YouTube expert interviews, and an active social-media presence. Seminar logistics, registration, and most educational events are run by a related but separately registered entity, Centrum rodinné péče, o.p.s. (IČ 01864637), under the seminare.dobrarodina.cz platform.

The business model is that of a regulated non-profit social-services provider. Revenue is a blend of Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and municipal grants (notably the Prague City Municipality's "Stability for Children" project), individual and corporate donations (e.g., via Darujme.cz, plus in-kind support from Globus and BRIMO), and nominal fees on public seminars (500–750 CZK). Services for registered foster and adoptive families are free or subsidized. Pricing for paid seminars is unit-priced rather than subscription-based, and there is no venture or private-equity capital structure. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across the Czech Republic, supplemented by awareness campaigns at public events such as Rock for People and earned media on Czech Radio and Czech Television.
