What Cała Polska czyta dzieciom does

Fundacja ABCXXI – Cała Polska czyta dzieciom (All Poland Reads to Children) is a Polish charitable foundation founded in 2001 by Irena Koźmińska to promote reading aloud to children as a tool for intellectual, emotional, and moral development. Headquartered in Warsaw with a 6-person staff, the foundation runs the 25-year-old national 'Cała Polska czyta dzieciom' social campaign, which serves parents, educators, librarians, and children aged 0–16 through free educational resources, curated book recommendations, and community programming. Core products include the Złota Lista (Golden List) of recommended children's books organized by age band, the Biblioteka Rodzica and Biblioteka Edukatora guide libraries, the annual Ogólnopolski Tydzień Czytania Dzieciom (Nationwide Reading Week) — now in its 25th edition — and the biennial Konkurs Literacki im. Astrid Lindgren literary competition.

The foundation's underlying technology is modest: a content-rich website (calapolskaczytadzieciom.pl), an email newsletter, a YouTube multimedia channel, and a dedicated web-based volunteer-leader coordination system (system.calapolskaczytadzieciom.pl). All educational resources, lesson scenarios, parent guides, and book recommendations are provided free of charge; there is no commercial product sales motion. Revenue mechanics consist of individual donations (including Poland's 1.5% personal income tax designation under KRS 0000097051), corporate foundation grants, government co-funding via the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage's Fundusz Promocji Kultury, and recurring crowdfunding through Patronite.

The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, leveraging a national network of volunteer leaders (Liderzy) who organize local reading events, the Kluby Czytających Rodzin (reading family clubs), and a broader ecosystem of media patrons including TVN Warner Bros Discovery, Onet, and Polityka. Strategic corporate partnerships — WWF Polska, ING Bank Śląski, and Visa — anchor the OCALIMY ŚWIAT environmental-education vertical, and the Biblioteka Narodowa (National Library of Poland) serves as honorary patron.
