Fundacja Gajusz

What Fundacja Gajusz does

Fundacja Gajusz is a Łódź, Poland-based non-profit foundation (KRS 0000109866) founded in 1998 by the mother of a seven-month-old infant named Gajusz after his recovery from a serious illness. The foundation operates a vertically integrated pediatric care platform spanning perinatal hospice (for families receiving life-limiting prenatal diagnoses, since 2013), an inpatient children's hospice called Pałac (Palace, also since 2013), a home hospice serving over 50 children daily across the Łódź Voivodeship, the TULI LULI Emergency Preadoption Center (one of only two in Poland, since 2016), the CUKINIA Therapy Center for children and families in crisis, and intensive pediatric oncology ward support including psychological care, art therapy, music therapy, the Onkobohaterowie program, and the OKNO post-treatment reintegration program.

The foundation employs over 180 specialists — physicians, pediatric neurologists, nurses, psycho-oncologists, therapists, social workers, and educators — and served approximately 1,000 children and families in 2025, with documented outcomes including 108 terminally ill children receiving medical/social support, nearly 16,000 person-days of palliative care, 23,656 hours of hospice care, 125 oncology-ward families, and 2,111 hours of psychological services. It is the only comprehensive pediatric hospice and preadoption provider in the Łódź Voivodeship.

Revenue is diversified across individual one-time and recurring monthly donations (the Pomagajusz program), the Polish 1.5% income tax designation, NFZ (National Health Fund) contracts covering less than half of operations, corporate partnerships under the Dobry Biznes program, and legacy bequests via the Dobro nie umiera program. The foundation recently disclosed losing an NFZ contract, prompting an emergency fundraising campaign. Geographic reach is concentrated in Łódź Voivodeship, with online donation channels extending donor reach globally to Polish diaspora supporters.

• Fundacja Ronalda McDonalda (RMHC Polska): Polish chapter supporting families of hospitalized children with 'home-away-from-home' facilities. Comparable donor mobilization model and child-health focus, with overlapping oncology-adjacent beneficiary base.

Emerging players

• Fundacja Alivia (Onkologia): Polish oncology-focused nonprofit supporting adult and pediatric cancer patients. Comparable fundraising mechanics and oncology patient-support mission, though focused on financial navigation rather than bedside care.
