Fundacja Ekspert-Kujawy

What Fundacja Ekspert-Kujawy does

Fundacja Ekspert-Kujawy is a Polish non-governmental foundation (KRS 00022521), established in 2001 and headquartered at ul. Dworcowa 65 in Inowrocław, Kujawsko-Pomorskie voivodeship. It delivers EU-funded social services, vocational training, and community integration programmes across at least six Polish voivodeships (Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Wielkopolskie, Dolnośląskie, Opolskie, Śląskie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie). Its core activities comprise care services for elderly and disabled persons (delivered via multiple 'Pogodna Jesień Życia' projects and personal-assistant programmes under AOON), social and professional integration for unemployed and excluded individuals (Kluby Integracji Społecznej), youth education through the Abitus centre, vocational and language training, university programmes for seniors (Uniwersytet III Wieku, Inowrocławski Uniwersytet Ludowy), capacity-building for NGOs (Rozwój NGO siłą Kujaw i Pomorza), and activation services for Ukrainian refugees. Operational sub-brands also include a teacher development centre (Ośrodek Doskonalenia Nauczycieli), a language school (Szkoła Języków Obcych), a social enterprise incubator (Kujawski Inkubator Przedsiębiorczości Społecznej), a social services coordination centre (Centrum Usług Społecznych), and a regional loan fund (Kujawsko-Pomorski Fundusz Pożyczkowy).

The foundation's technical footprint centres on a proprietary online training platform (platforma.ekspert-kujawy.pl) built with National Recovery Plan (KPO) funding to deliver remote competency and qualification webinars, and a tele-care system (Kujawsko-Pomorska Teleopieka) developed in partnership with the regional government for remote monitoring of elderly and dependent individuals. Neither platform exposes a public API. Headquarters infrastructure includes 8 training/conference rooms, computer labs, advisory rooms, and a virtual office service, all of which are also rented commercially.

The business model is overwhelmingly grant-funded: the primary revenue stream consists of EU and national programme grants (European Social Fund, Fundusz Solidarnościowy, KPO, regional operational programmes) secured through public tenders and partnership consortia. Commercial revenue streams — training room and virtual office rental (30-70 PLN brutto/hour), language school fees, and tax-deductible donations — are secondary and unlikely to exceed low single-digit million PLN annually. GTM motion is event-driven, built around responding to calls for proposals from regional governments and ministries, supplemented by direct beneficiary outreach via the foundation's website, Facebook page, partner referrals (PUP, schools, NGOs), and presence at job fairs and community events.
