Fundacja po DRUGIE

What Fundacja po DRUGIE does

Fundacja po DRUGIE is a Polish non-profit foundation (organizacja pożytku publicznego) established in 2011 and headquartered in Warsaw, operating a multi-tiered support system for homeless and socially excluded youth aged 18-25. The organization reaches up to 300 beneficiaries per year through referrals from social services, orphanages, foster-care institutions, and word-of-mouth within the youth community. Its service portfolio comprises four core programs: the Punkt Pomocowy (Assistance Point) providing first-line crisis intervention including food, hygiene, psychological, legal, and social support; the Dom dla Młodzieży (Home for Youth), a residential facility positioned as 'not an institution, not a shelter, but simply a home'; the Mieszkania dla Młodzieży (Apartments for Youth), a supported-housing network across five Warsaw districts operational since 2015; and the newly announced Dom dla Młodych Mam (Home for Young Mothers), a planned facility for six young women and their children.

Beyond direct service delivery, the foundation sells and rents Esymulatory — physical infant simulation dolls, pregnancy belly simulators, and preventive education dolls (demonstrating effects of prenatal alcohol/drug exposure and shaken-baby syndrome) — to other institutions working with teenagers, creating a modest commercial revenue stream. It has also published the 'PoDRUGIE Method,' a codified methodology for working with homeless youth, and organizes the Polish edition of the global '19 Days Against Violence' campaign in partnership with the Geneva-based WWSF.

The business model is grant-funded rather than commercial: services to beneficiaries are provided free of charge, while operating revenue comes from public-sector grants (Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy; City of Warsaw; Mazovia Province; Mazowieckie Centre for Social Policy; Mazovia Voivode), corporate donations and sponsorships (BNP Paribas, Orlen Foundation, Rossmann Foundation, VELUX Foundation, Dell Technologies, Uber, Leroy Merlin, Tefal, Lotte Wedel, and others), 1.5% individual tax designations enabled by its OPP status, and Esymulatory sales/rentals. The organization operates with a lean team of 8 staff and has no disclosed commercial revenue, no technology platform, and no AI/ML capabilities.
