OM Volunteer Association

What OM Volunteer Association does

OM Volunteer Association (Stowarzyszenie Operation Mobilisation w Polsce, KRS 0000825086) is a Polish non-profit association registered in Warsaw in January 2020, operating as the Polish legal entity of the global OM International network. Its core activities center on humanitarian aid, psychosocial support, community integration, and missionary mobilization targeted primarily at refugees and displaced persons — particularly Ukrainians but also people from 60+ nationalities — alongside programs serving Polish churches and youth. Operationally, the association runs a multi-site service platform including the Dom Kultur community center in Warsaw's Praga Północ district (20+ weekly programs), the Poradnia Psalm multilingual counseling center (300+ consultations in 2025), the Response Team operating in three reception centers near Warsaw, the Bazar Pomocy material aid project (1,000+ families served), the Mehmon Persian-language program, OpSAFE children's trauma camps, and the TeenStreet youth initiative. Supporting infrastructure consists of a donation portal (tpay.com), standard website platforms (ompolska.org, PoradniaPsalm.pl), and basic web analytics — no proprietary technology stack is disclosed.

The business model is purely donation-driven with no commercial revenue streams. Funding comes from individual donors and church congregations, both domestically and internationally, with donations tax-deductible in Poland up to 6% of annual income. The pricing model consists of suggested donation tiers (35–220 PLN) tied to specific outcomes — e.g., 35 PLN for a week of school meals in Cambodia, 100 PLN for monthly family food in Yemen, 200 PLN to sponsor a therapy session at Poradnia Psalm, and the recurring 70 PLN challenge — alongside unrestricted giving to a national fund. Distribution operates through physical community sites (Dom Kultur, Kutno, Ośrodki pobytowe), an online donation portal, and direct bank transfers (domestic PLN and international IBAN). Governance is by an unpaid Board of Directors chaired by Weronika Maria Czajko, with oversight from a Komisja Rewizyjna, and the organization has approximately 35 registered association members and 20+ people engaged full-time in OM Poland work.

Revenue model

1. Individual and Church Donations: OM is a non-profit organization funded entirely by donations from thousands of supporters worldwide. Individual donors and churches contribute to general operations, specific projects, or named missionaries. Donations are tax-deductible in Poland (up to 6% of annual income). The organization does not have external commercial revenue streams.
2. Humanitarian Aid Distribution: Material aid (food, clothing, hygiene products) is distributed to beneficiaries through programs such as Bazar Pomocy and Response Team. Aid is sourced from international partners (FAIR Canada, STARS4KIDS, Madison Floyd Foundation, etc.) and distributed free of charge to qualifying refugees and vulnerable populations.
3. Book Sales (Ships): Logos Hope operates the world's largest floating bookstore, selling approximately 5,000 different book titles. Revenue from book sales supports ship operations and the broader OM mission. This applies to the global OM fleet, not specifically to OM Poland.
