Fundacja Votum

What Fundacja Votum does

Fundacja Votum is a Polish non-profit public benefit organization (OPP, KRS 0000272272) established in 2007 and headquartered in Wrocław, Poland. The foundation supports people with physical and neurological disabilities across Poland by providing financial assistance for medical treatment, rehabilitation, assistive equipment, and architectural barrier removal. Its core beneficiaries include individuals who have lost mobility or function due to accidents, strokes, sports injuries, or congenital conditions, with particular focus on long-term, costly rehabilitation needs that exceed families' financial capacity.

Fundacja Votum operates a lean 6-person team and coordinates delivery through an integrated partner ecosystem. Free rehabilitation stays are conducted at PCRF (Polskie Centrum Rehabilitacji Funkcjonalnej) in Tarnów and Bydgoszcz, with a second 2025-edition program covering 25 beneficiaries at PCRF Tarnów. The foundation funds and places advanced rehabilitation equipment — including an anti-gravity treadmill (Sep 2025), SIS electromagnetic stimulation system (Aug 2025), and R-Touch hand therapy device (Nov 2025) — at partner facilities for free beneficiary use. Medical equipment provisioning is handled through a long-standing partnership with Life Care GL+, which opened a new showroom inside PCRF Tarnów in 2025.

The foundation's funding model rests on three streams: 1.5% Polish income tax allocations (10.4 million PLN in 2024), direct donations to named beneficiaries (8.1 million PLN in 2024), and corporate sponsorships and event-based fundraising (including charitable concerts and recurring monthly donor programs). Beneficiary acquisition relies on direct outreach and partner referrals. The foundation maintains a digital presence through its website, Facebook, and a beneficiary panel that lets individuals manage accounts and track support. Cumulative beneficiary reach stood at 1,886 as of January 31, 2026.
