What Fundacja Masculinum does

Fundacja Masculinum is a Polish non-profit foundation headquartered in Warsaw, founded in 2013 (per firmographics) with company history referencing 2015 operational start, operating in the men's mental health sector. It runs a multi-entity ecosystem comprising the Instytut Zdrowia Psychicznego Masculinum, a clinical mental health institute delivering individual, group, couples, and family psychotherapy using integrative approaches including Gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, Ericksonian, systemic, and EMDR; the Szkoła Psychoterapii Gestalt ITEG, a 4-year Gestalt psychotherapist training program compliant with EAGT standards; Męskie Kręgi (Men's Circles) peer support groups; and Portal Masculinum, a content platform publishing articles on masculinity and personal development. The technology stack is operationally standard: WooCommerce for online workshop booking, Zoom/Skype/telephone for remote sessions, Przelewy 24 and BLIK for Polish payments, and Google Analytics for site analytics.

The organization serves individual men seeking mental health support, couples and families, individuals dealing with addiction, and aspiring or practicing psychotherapists seeking Gestalt certification. Revenue is generated through professional services fees: per-session therapy (pay-as-you-go, pricing not publicly disclosed), workshop enrollment (capped at 18 participants), multi-year training program tuition, and book sales. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, primarily through content marketing (Portal Masculinum, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook), earned media in Polish outlets (Newsweek Psychologia, Zwierciadło, TVP), and a self-service online booking system (umowwizyte). The foundation is founder-led by Jacek Masłowski, operates without external institutional funding or PE/VC capital, and is limited to 13 employees across its Warsaw facility and a registered office in Grójec. Geographic scope is Poland, with online delivery extending reach nationwide.
