What Fundacja OnkoCafe - Razem Lepiej does

Fundacja OnkoCafe - Razem Lepiej is a Warsaw-based Polish non-profit foundation (KRS 0000504682, NIP 5213669451) founded in 2014 by cancer survivor Anna Kupiecka to provide free, comprehensive psychosocial, dietary, and oncology support to cancer patients and their families in Poland. The foundation operates through a portfolio of programs and campaigns organized around patient support, disease-specific awareness, and health-policy advocacy: the Klub Pacjenta (Patient Club) delivers workshops, expert meetings, and physical activities; Psychological Support offers free counseling with oncologists, dietitians, and psycho-oncologists; the Różowy Patrol (Pink Patrol) maintains a nationwide network of nearly 100 Prevention Ambassadors who train women in breast self-examination; and flagship campaigns include BreastFit (breast cancer prevention with male ally engagement, main-sponsored by Novartis), Onkopomocnik (lung cancer), Prostatahistoria (prostate cancer), and Hematokoalicja (blood cancers). The foundation also co-founded and participates in the Koalicja Onkozdrowia Kobiet (Coalition for Women's Oncology Health) advocacy initiative.

The underlying technology stack is modest and conventional: web-based platforms including the main onkocafe.pl site and dedicated campaign microsites (breastfit.onkocafe.pl, prostatahistoria.pl, onkopomocnik.pl, kok.onkocafe.pl, rozowypatrol.pl), a WordPress-based CMS, and digital educational resources delivered via webinars, publications, and downloadable guides. No proprietary AI, app, or software products are disclosed. Specialist contact channels route to dedicated email addresses ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) plus a central phone line (+48 537 888 789).

The business model is a non-profit donation-and-sponsorship model. All patient services are free; the foundation receives individual donations (including via Poland's 1.5% personal income tax designation mechanism, which delivered 120,085.90 PLN for tax year 2024), and is supported by a multi-sponsor roster of pharmaceutical companies — Novartis (core/main BreastFit sponsor), Roche, AbbVie, AstraZeneca, MSD, GSK, and Bayer — together with media partnerships and conference institutional partnerships (e.g., Grupa PTWP, Forum Zdrowia Kobiet). Distribution is direct-to-patient through the website, in-person workshops, support groups, and Prevention Ambassador training; enterprise-side distribution runs through healthcare-institution partnerships and conference presence. The foundation has 7 employees and a volunteer-driven outreach network spanning all of Poland.
