Badania Stowarzyszenia Klon/Jawor

What Badania Stowarzyszenia Klon/Jawor does

Stowarzyszenie Klon/Jawor is a Warsaw-based non-profit research association founded in 2000 (with its research operations beginning in 2002) that operates two interconnected products: the ngo.pl web portal — the dominant Polish information hub for non-governmental organizations — and a research division ('Badania Klon/Jawor') that produces longitudinal studies on Polish civil society. Its flagship 'Kondycja organizacji pozarządowych' (NGO Capacity) study, conducted on representative samples (e.g., 1,012 organizations in the 2024 edition representing ~75,000 active NGOs nationally), has run cyclically since 2002 and now spans 10 editions, supplemented by thematic reports on corporate foundations, volunteering, philanthropy, social enterprises, human rights organizations, refugee-supporting NGOs, public perception of NGOs, and digital-technology adoption in the sector.

Its offering is built on a portal-and-research-publishing model: the ngo.pl ecosystem comprises fakty.ngo.pl (facts and research), publicystyka.ngo.pl (editorial commentary), kondycja.ngo.pl (dedicated capacity-study portal), uslugi.ngo.pl (NGO services marketplace), wydarzenia.ngo.pl (events/training), and darowizny.ngo.pl (donation collection). Reports are published publicly as free PDFs (e.g., 140-page flagship, 193-page Warsaw city-government commission, 100-page social enterprise study). Distribution runs through the portal, email infoline, and active social channels on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.

The business model is non-commercial grant funding. The organization raises project-specific grants from a recurring cluster of foundations — Polsko-Amerykańska Fundacja Wolności, Fundacja im. Stefana Batorego, Narodowy Instytut Wolności, and Fundacja Save the Children Polska — supplemented by EEA/EU programs (EEA Funds, Fundusz Inicjatyw Obywatelskich, European Funds for Social Development 2021-2027) and commissioned studies (e.g., Urząd m.st. Warszawy, Fundacja DKMS, Danish Refugee Council). Revenue is not disclosed, pricing is not published, and there is no headcount growth signal beyond the current 11 employees. Its principal customers are not buyers in a commercial sense but rather a long tail of ~75,000 Polish NGOs (content consumers), plus a concentrated set of foundation and government funders (research commissioners) who anchor the operating budget.
