What FOKUS Vysočina, z.ú. does

FOKUS Vysočina, z.ú. is a Czech non-profit organization (ústav) operating for 33 years in the Vysočina region, providing integrated social and mental health services across four service centers in Havlíčkův Brod, Pelhřimov, Chotěboř, and Hlinsko. Its core portfolio comprises three service clusters: (1) mental health services including Centrum duševního zdraví (Mental Health Center — registered under §70a of Czech law č. 108/2006 Sb.), Komunitní tým (Community Team), Chráněné bydlení (Protected Housing with 16 capacity locations), Tým podpory v zaměstnávání (Employment Support Team operating 20+ years), Terénní tým pro děti (Field Team for Children), and Psychiatrická ambulance; (2) disability services for people with intellectual or combined disabilities including Denní stacionář (Day Center with capacity 15), Sociálně terapeutická dílna (Socio-therapeutic Workshop), and Osobní asistence (Personal Assistance); and (3) preventive school-based mental health programs under the 'Na vlastní duši' brand. The organization also operates volunteer coordination centers (443-510 volunteers annually contributing 25,936-28,000 hours), a social enterprise FOVY (gastronomy, sewing, ceramics, assembly), and a proprietary record-keeping software 'Evidenční systém Highlander'.

The business model is hybrid non-profit financing combining four streams: (1) government subsidies and grants from Kraj Vysočina and EU funds (primary), (2) individual and corporate donations plus foundation grants (Nadace ČEZ, Nadace MONETA Clementia, Nadační fond pro Pelhřimovsko) and active fundraising campaigns including the Dům pro FOKUS building project, (3) regulated service fees including protected housing at 3,750-7,800 CZK/month and psychiatric clinic fees billed through six Czech health insurers, and (4) social enterprise revenue from FOVY's catering, textile, ceramic, and maintenance operations. Service delivery is field-based — terrain teams travel nearly 250,000 km annually to reach clients in their homes, schools, and hospitals across districts Havlíčkův Brod, Pelhřimov, and Hlinsko. The organization is governed by a 5-member Board of Directors led by Chairman David Burian and Director Anna Šimonová, with no external private equity or venture capital ownership.

In 2025-2026, FOKUS Vysočina is executing two material strategic expansions: opening the second Centrum duševního zdraví in Pelhřimov (May 2026) and constructing a 35 million CZK barrier-free facility 'Dům pro FOKUS v Chotěboři' targeted for December 2028 completion. The organization also recently received the Hejtman's Prize for Social Responsibility 2024-2025 and received EU/Národní plán obnovy funding for electromobility (5 PHEV vehicles), reflecting growing institutional recognition and capital base diversification.
