Fundacja One Day

What Fundacja One Day does

Fundacja One Day is a Polish non-governmental foundation (organizacja pozarządowa) with Public Benefit Organization (OPP) status, established in 2014 and headquartered in Warsaw at ul. Filipiny Płaskowickiej 46/79. Founded by Monika Krzyżanowska based on her personal lived experience in foster care, the organization supports youth aging out of Poland's foster care system (piecza zastępcza, including Domy dziecka and Placówki opiekuńczo-wychowawcze) in transitioning to independent adult life. The foundation serves a primary segment of foster care youth aged 16+ and a secondary segment of younger children in care facilities, with annual beneficiary throughput exceeding 800 children.

The foundation's core technology is the Usamodzielnieni.pl digital platform—a web application providing account registration, a CV builder (Kreator CV) requiring fields such as name, date of birth, phone, email, education, and language skills, profile-based employer matching, and access to educational and psychological resources. The platform is complemented by a portfolio of in-person programs: Domek Usamodzielnienia (residential independence facility), SamoDZIELNI (comprehensive 4th-edition program with 25 facilitators covering mental health, independence, health/wellness, and career modules), uWAŻNI (individual and group therapy plus psychoeducation), 'Gram o siebie' workshops, Staże internships, vocational courses, the 'Głowa do góry' empowerment project, and the annual Gwiazdka One Day Christmas gift program. All programs are free for beneficiaries.

The foundation's business model is multi-stream donation-based with no fee-for-service revenue. Revenue is generated through (1) individual donations—both one-time (suggested tiers of 20, 30, 50, 100 PLN and custom amounts, with BLIK support) and recurring via the Klub Przyjaciół One Day monthly giving club, (2) the MOCNO POMOCNI corporate partnership program requiring 1,000+ PLN/month with associated recognition benefits, (3) the 1.5% Polish income tax designation program enabled by OPP status, and (4) annual Gwiazdka One Day donation drives. The 2024 disclosed revenue was approximately 1,565,061.54 PLN on total assets of 2,252,859.98 PLN, with the foundation operating on a lean 6-employee structure. Distribution is direct to beneficiaries through care institutions and self-service via the digital platform, supplemented by corporate partnership acquisition and earned media coverage across major Polish outlets (TVN, Player.pl, Newsweek, Zwierciadło, Wprost, Onet).
