Core offering

Fundacja Onkologiczna Rakiety provides free online subaccounts that enable oncology patients to raise funds for treatment, complemented by specialist consultations (psychological, dietary, integrative medicine, physiotherapy), prevention workshops, a helpline, and complementary therapies including VR relaxation. The foundation operates as a Polish public-benefit non-profit delivering holistic support to cancer patients, survivors, and their families throughout the treatment and recovery journey.

Product overview

Fundacja Onkologiczna Rakiety is a charitable foundation offering a portfolio of interconnected oncology support services rather than a single product. Its core offering comprises free-of-charge sub-accounts (subkonta) for patient fundraising with zero commission, direct specialist consultations (psycho-oncology, psychiatry, sexology, dietetics, pain management, nursing, genetics), and a telephone helpline (Onkolinia) staffed by the President. These are complemented by an array of prevention and education services: ProfiRAKtyka programs for schools, NGOs, and public institutions; the ToNieRocketScience self-examination awareness initiative; preventive webinars; the Dietą w Raka educational nutrition program; downloadable prevention calendars and materials; and the VR-based Wirtualne Podróże z Globalworth therapeutic program. The foundation also coordinates government-funded disability support projects (Mój Asystent Osobisty, Opieka Wytchnieniowa) and leads the Koalicja na rzecz Onkologii Integracyjnej. All patient-facing services are free for registered beneficiaries, funded through 1.5% tax donations, corporate social responsibility programs, grants, and individual donors.
