Fundacja Orange

What Fundacja Orange does

Fundacja Orange is a Warsaw-based Polish nonprofit foundation established in 2005 as the corporate social responsibility vehicle of Orange Polska, a major Polish telecommunications operator. The foundation's mission is to support children, youth, teachers, and parents in developing digital literacy, online safety, and social-emotional competencies in a screen-saturated environment. It operates a portfolio of free educational programs including MegaMisja (scenario-based curriculum for primary schools and kindergartens covering digital hygiene, empathy, and critical thinking), #BurzaMózgów (a 12-block e-learning course on artificial intelligence for teachers), Lekcja:AI (free AI training for teachers, FERS-funded via a Ministry of Education competition), ABC Higieny Cyfrowej (digital hygiene workshops for grades 0-3), FabLab powered by Orange (creative workshops co-managed with Stowarzyszenie Robisz.to), and Pracownie Orange (technology workshops in small towns). Complementary initiatives include the 'Nie przescrolluj życia' awareness campaign, the Nauczyciel Jutr@ teacher-recognition award (co-organized with Głos Nauczycielski), and the volunteer program channeling Orange Polska employees into community actions.

The foundation is funded through three primary mechanisms: corporate social responsibility allocations from Orange Polska (the founding and primary funder), competitive EU and government grants (FERS for Lekcja:AI and KPO for teacher digital competency training across 10 voivodeships), and the Polish 1.5% personal income tax donation mechanism available to Public Benefit Organizations. Programs are delivered free of charge to schools, kindergartens, teachers, and children via open online enrollment, institutional partnerships with schools and kindergartens, and Orange's nationwide volunteer network. The foundation complements program delivery with research output, including the 'Dojrzeć do praw' monitoring report on children's digital rights (co-produced with 80+ experts) and partnership in the EU Kids Online 2026 study coordinated by NASK. Distribution is single-country (Poland), with the foundation holding principal partner status for Safer Internet Day in Poland for 20 consecutive years.

Governance is led by a Board (Anna Kowalik-Mizgalska as President, Małgorzata Kowalewska as Board Member) and a General Director (Bożena Żołnierek, in role since 2008). The foundation employs approximately 26 staff across programs, communications, finance/compliance, and EU projects. Notable 2025 milestones include the 20th anniversary Forum, expansion of MegaMisja to its 10th jubilee edition (12,000+ children, 300 teachers), Lekcja:AI launch, and two campaign awards (Wpływowa Inicjatywa 2025, Złota mowa reklamowa). Strategic partners include UODO (Personal Data Protection Office), NASK, Fundacja Instytut Cyfrowego Obywatelstwa, Stowarzyszenie Robisz.to, LOFI Robot, and the Ministry of National Education.
