Fundacja Dorastaj z Nami

What Fundacja Dorastaj z Nami does

Fundacja Dorastaj z Nami is a Polish non-governmental foundation established in 2010 in Warsaw, operating as the only NGO in Poland dedicated specifically to supporting children of public service workers (soldiers, firefighters, police officers, mountain rescuers, and COVID-19 healthcare workers) who died or were injured in the line of duty. The foundation provides long-term, individualized care to beneficiaries until they reach age 25, including educational financing (school, university, tutoring, language and professional courses), psychological and psychiatric support, career-preparation internships, and annual Summer Integration Workshops. It also runs nationwide awareness campaigns and the Presidential Gala at the Presidential Palace/Belweder in partnership with the Polish President's Chancellery and the National Security Bureau.

The foundation's deliverables combine in-person services with digital infrastructure. Core offerings include a nationwide network of Educational Advisors providing personalized case management, the Siła Wsparcia Kobiet peer-mentoring program for mothers of beneficiaries (delivered under STIBITZ's EQA EMCC accreditation and financed by Fundacja ORLEN), and the public-facing Platforma Fundacji Dorastaj z Nami (platforma.dorastajznami.org) free educational platform built on WordPress/Publigo/WP IdeaLMS, hosting video courses on parenting, child development, cyber-addiction, water safety, and grief support. Other signature assets are the Orzeł Służby Publicznej award (established 2024 with Defence24), 17 published educational guidebooks, a podcast ('Rozmowy o...'), charitable runs, and the 'Dzień Wdzięczności za Służbę' initiative co-led with 19 veteran and military organizations to establish a national Day of Gratitude for Service.

The foundation is funded entirely by donations: roughly 15,000 individual donors via one-time and recurring (Polecenie Zapłaty) contributions plus the Polish 1.5% PIT tax designation (KRS 0000361265), over 120 corporate partners (including Boeing, Orange Polska, PZL-Świdnik, Fundacja PKO Banku Polskiego, Fundacja ORLEN, Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa, Huta Stalowa Wola), testamentary bequests, and proceeds from events such as the annual Charytatywny Bieg and Allegro auctions. It holds Organizacja Pożytku Publicznego status, is audited annually by PwC, publishes ESG/sustainability reports, and operates with a lean staff of 14 employees supporting 152 active beneficiaries as of January 2026.

Direct peers

• Hope for the Warriors: US nonprofit providing comprehensive support to wounded service members, veterans, and their families, including programs for surviving children. Overlapping beneficiary definition and educational/psychological support portfolio.
• Scotty's Little Soldiers: UK charity dedicated to supporting children and young people who have lost a parent serving in the British Armed Forces. Closest international analogue to Dorastaj z Nami in mission, beneficiary definition, and long-horizon educational/psychological support model.
• Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund: US nonprofit that supports families of military personnel lost in service, including educational scholarships for children. Comparable educational-financing mission and high-profile corporate-defense partnerships.
• Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS): US-based nonprofit providing long-term bereavement support and resources to families of military service members who have died. Comparable in mission scope (grief care, peer mentoring, case management) and donor mobilization around fallen-service-member storytelling.
• Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation: US nonprofit that provides college scholarships and educational support to children of service members lost in the line of duty. Direct overlap on educational financing for fallen-public-service children.

Regional players

• SOS Children's Villages Poland: Polish arm of an international family-care nonprofit providing alternative family care for children who have lost parental support. Comparable within Poland in targeting vulnerable children but operates a residential-care model rather than long-term educational sponsorship.
• Fundacja Happy Kids: Polish nonprofit supporting children and youth, particularly those from difficult family situations. Comparable Polish fundraising footprint and program mix but broader childhood-welfare focus rather than fallen-public-service specialization.

Broad incumbents

• Fisher House Foundation: Large US military-family charity providing housing and family support near hospitals for wounded/deceased service members' families. Comparable beneficiary population and corporate partnership model but with a broader housing-led remit.
• Fundacja Polsat: One of Poland's largest foundations, supporting children's healthcare and family welfare. Comparable in nationwide Polish reach, major-corporate backing, and mass-media fundraising, though operating at much larger scale and with medical (vs. educational/psychological) focus.

Emerging players

• Pomoc dzieciom – Fundacja Iskierka: Polish foundation supporting children with cancer and serious illness through psychological and family assistance. Comparable on the long-term psychological-care-for-children model in Poland, though beneficiary profile (medical vs. bereavement) differs.
