Fundaţia pentru Voi

What Fundaţia pentru Voi does

Fundaţia pentru Voi is a private Romanian non-profit foundation (ONG) established in 1995 in Timișoara to deliver community-based social services for adults with intellectual disabilities. It is the operator of Romania's first day center for adults with intellectual disabilities (1997) and runs a continuous service stack that includes day centers (Centre de zi), protected housing units (Locuinţe Protejate, including DINA since 1999 and DINU since 2000), a self-advocacy program (Autoreprezentare), lobby and advocacy work, and a sheltered-employment unit (Unitatea protejată „Pentru Voi"). The organization also runs a protected/assisted employment unit and an online shop selling merchandise. Its technology footprint is minimal by design: there is no proprietary software platform, API, or SDK disclosed; the only technology-adjacent asset is a specialized library of easy-to-read / 'Limbaj Easy to Read' accessible information materials (brochures, accessible tourism guides) developed in-house, plus one-off use of AR elements in a 2023 cultural performance. The foundation is led by Laila Onu as General Director, with Diana Mihaila as Day Center Manager; the disclosed paid headcount is 6 personnel despite serving approximately 200 beneficiaries continuously.

The foundation operates a multi-channel, grant-and-donation-funded business model with no priced product to market. Revenue streams include (a) individual donations via the website in RON/EUR/USD with preset one-time and recurring tiers (25/50/75/100 RON) processed through EuPlatesc, (b) recurring local-government subsidies from Primăria Timișoara for accredited day-center and protected-housing services, and (c) project-based grants from national authorities (notably ANPDPD, which funded 'Destinaţia: Incluziune' at 119,410 RON in August 2025), European programs (ESF, PHARE, Swiss-Romanian Cooperation Programme), and international foundations (Open Society Foundations, UNICEF, Inclusion Europe), plus corporate sponsorships (e.g., Kaufland România's 500,000 RON humanitarian aid in 2017). The go-to-market is direct service delivery to beneficiaries through physical facilities in Timișoara / Timiș county, supported by charity galas ('Gala Pentru Voi', 'Patrimoniul sub reflectoare Pentru Voi'), media partnerships with TVR Timișoara, and an organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Founded beneficiary base is highly specialized (adults with intellectual disabilities and autism in Western Romania), and outreach to funders is executed through grant applications, charity events, and individual donor cultivation rather than commercial sales.
