Fundacja ISKIERKA

What Fundacja ISKIERKA does

Fundacja ISKIERKA is a Polish non-profit organization (Organizacja Pożytku Publicznego, KRS 0000248546) founded in 2006 that supports children diagnosed with oncological and hematological diseases and their families. Its service offering is structured around four pillars: financial assistance (through individual sub-accounts that collect donations and 1.5% tax-designated funds), psychological support for patients and families, therapeutic workshops and integrative events (including summer camps under 'Akcja Lato'), and educational content via the onkorodzice.pl medical knowledge portal. All services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries.

The foundation operates from a registered headquarters in Warsaw (ul. Wilcza 28/8) and a main operational office in Katowice (ul. Dębowa 3), with embedded ward supervisors physically present in pediatric oncology departments in three cities — Katowice, Zabrze, and Rzeszów. The team consists of 29 employees. The foundation is an affiliated member of Childhood Cancer International EUROPE (CCI EUROPE), providing international network access.

The business model is donation-driven: the foundation raises funds through individual donations, public collections (e.g., 'Efekt ISKIERKI' targeting 202,020 PLN, Ukrainian beneficiary support targeting 50,000 PLN, and 'Tarcza Zdrowienia' targeting 50,000 PLN), the Polish 1.5% income tax designation program, and corporate partnerships. The foundation handles all accounting, legal, and administrative work for beneficiary sub-accounts, reducing friction for families. It also extends support to Ukrainian war-displaced families treated in Poland. There is no disclosed revenue, no parent company, and no institutional investor; the organization is independently operated under Polish non-profit law.

Broad incumbents

• Fundacja WOŚP (Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy): Poland's largest mass-market health charity, including pediatric oncology equipment funding; a broad incumbent whose national donor-base dynamics directly shape the environment in which ISKIERKA raises funds.
• Fundacja UNICEF Polska: Polish branch of a global children's organization that funds pediatric health programs including oncology; relevant as a benchmark for institutional fundraising scale and corporate-partnership structures in the Polish market.
• Childhood Cancer International EUROPE: European umbrella organization of which ISKIERKA is a member; comparable as the network of national pediatric cancer foundations and a channel for cross-border funding and advocacy relevant to ISKIERKA's international engagement.

Direct peers

• Fundacja Urszuli Jaworskiej: Polish foundation supporting children with cancer and other serious illnesses, operating similar financial-assistance and family-support programs targeting the same beneficiary demographic.
• Fundacja Herosi: Polish non-profit foundation supporting children with oncological diseases and their families through financial, psychological, and integrative programs. Highly comparable to ISKIERKA in mission, beneficiary profile, and service mix.
• Fundacja Rak'n'Roll: Polish charitable foundation supporting cancer patients (with both pediatric and adult programs) through financial aid, psychosocial programs, and awareness campaigns — overlapping with ISKIERKA on financial and psychological support services.
• Fundacja Dr Macieja Hilgiera: Polish foundation focused on pediatric hematology and oncology, providing treatment-cost support and family services — closely comparable in mission and target population to ISKIERKA.
• Fundacja Na Ratunek Dzieciom z Chorobą Nowotworową: Polish foundation providing financial assistance and direct family support to children undergoing cancer treatment, with a hospital-based field-staff model very similar to ISKIERKA's ward-supervisor structure.

Emerging players

• Stowarzyszenie Mali Bohaterowie: Polish organization supporting children with cancer and other serious illnesses through financial and psychosocial programs; comparable in cause-area but operates at smaller scale than ISKIERKA.
• Fundacja Słoneczko: Polish non-profit supporting sick and disabled children (broader than oncology), with similar fundraising mechanisms including 1.5% tax and public collections; useful as a peer for fundraising-mechanism benchmarking.
