Fundația de Sprijin Comunitar

What Fundația de Sprijin Comunitar does

Fundația de Sprijin Comunitar (FSC) is a private, non-governmental, non-profit foundation of public utility founded in 1997 and headquartered in Bacău, Romania. The organization delivers an integrated portfolio of social, educational, healthcare, and community services to vulnerable populations in Bacău County, primarily children from disadvantaged rural families, isolated elderly, at-risk adolescents, and vulnerable families. Its operating footprint spans 12 rural communities and two cities, served through 162 employees and 340 volunteers, with 2,153 direct beneficiaries and 234,000+ hours of service delivery annually.

FSC's service lines are organized around a small set of branded programs. Cluburile cu Lipici (Lipici Clubs) are after-school day centers for vulnerable children in villages such as Slobozia Nouă and Fântânele. Elderly care is delivered through the Satul Seniorilor Milly residential facility in Buhuși, the Centrul de Zi Dr. Ștefan Ciobanu day center in Bacău, and a mobile home-care team that travels 60,000+ km per year to serve 450 elderly across rural areas. Additional programs include the Psiholog la sat mobile psychology service, Școlile de Vară (summer schools), Adoptă un licean (rural high-school scholarships), an accredited vocational training arm operating since 2009, the Activ Mozaic online hand-made shop, and an online volunteer coordination center. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is operational and people-based.

The revenue model is a hybrid typical of Romanian social-sector NGOs. The largest inflows are grants from the European Union (notably Programul Incluziune și Demnitate Socială and the European Social Fund) and Romanian government co-financing through Consiliul Județean Bacău and Law 350/2005. Secondary streams include corporate sponsorships (Kaufland România, Dedeman, Agricola, Fundația Vodafone România, PEPCO), individual donations via PayPal and bank transfer, the 3.5% income-tax redirection (Form 230) and 20% corporate-profit sponsorship contracts, fee-for-service home medical and kinetotherapy packages (50–150 RON per session), and annual fundraising galas that raised 70,650 EUR in 2024 and a record 76,000 EUR at the 2026 edition. Go-to-market is community-led: programs are activated through partnerships with 12 partner municipalities, churches, schools, and local corporate sponsors.
