What NESEHNUTÍ does

NESEHNUTÍ (Nezávislé Sociálně Ekologické Hnutí, or Independent Social Ecological Movement) is a Czech non-governmental organization founded in 1997 and headquartered in Brno, operating at the intersection of environmental protection, human rights, gender equality, animal welfare, and international solidarity. The organization runs a portfolio of distinct programs: F*ÉRA (feminist education), Pestré jídelny (school nutrition advocacy), Občanské oko (citizen oversight of public administration), Cesta iniciativy (capacity-building for civil society initiatives), Společně k rozmanitosti (integration of foreigners), Za práva zvířat (animal rights), and Slunce pro Ukrajinu (humanitarian solar installations in Ukraine, with 30+ solar power plants deployed). It serves a heterogeneous set of beneficiaries including Czech youth, municipalities, civil society organizations, migrants, and Ukrainian war-affected communities, while also supporting international partner organizations in the South Caucasus, Germany, and Spain through the BRIDGE project (2025-2028).

The organization's products are programmatic in nature — advocacy campaigns, educational curricula, policy consultations, capacity-building workshops, and humanitarian technology deployments — rather than commercial software or services. Its technology footprint is conventional: web presence, social media channels, podcast distribution (Podcast F*ÉRA), and digital program products such as You*th Online. The Slunce pro Ukrajinu program is the most technology-intensive offering, involving procurement and deployment of photovoltaic equipment in partnership with SOLSOL, FRONIUS, and E.ON.

NESEHNUTÍ's operating model is a diversified grant-funded non-profit. Revenue is assembled from multiple streams: EU programs (Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, LIFE, OP Zaměstnanost, OP JAK), Czech ministerial grants, private foundation funding (European Climate Foundation, Via Foundation, Porticus, Nadace Veronica), corporate sponsorships (E.ON, SOLSOL, FRONIUS), and individual donations. Only the individual-donation stream is explicitly quantified at 430,866 CZK in 2024, representing a small fraction of total inflows. The organization employs 32 staff, reflecting an operationally mid-sized Czech NGO with cross-border reach.
