What Fond Ohrozenych Deti does

Fond Ohrožených Dětí (FOD) is a Czech nonprofit association (spolek) founded in 1990 and headquartered at Na Poříčí 1038/6, Praha 1, that operates the Klokánek network of 14 emergency child welfare facilities (ZDVOP — zařízení pro děti vyžadující okamžitou pomoc) across the Czech Republic. The organization serves abused, neglected, and socially endangered children from infancy through adulthood with 24/7 immediate accommodation, family-style residential care in apartment-style units (one caretaker per maximum four children), sibling-group preservation, and supporting psychological and social work services. In 2025 it ensured care for 928 children (724 newly admitted), and in 2024 it cared for 901 children (757 newly admitted); more than half of children stay for a maximum of three months.

The business model blends a partial public subsidy (Czech state contribution covers approximately 60% of per-child care costs), a diversified private donation base (municipal grants, corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, individual giving via Darujme.cz and DMS SMS), annual membership fees, and a charitable retail channel. KlokArt, wholly-owned under FOD, sells branded clothing, accessories, and illustrated products (including the 2026 Family Wall Calendar) through its own E-shop (eshop.fod.cz) and partner marketplaces (SLEVOMAT, MERCHANDISING FOR YOU), with proceeds funding the Klokánek program. The organization is governed by a General Assembly and Board (Chairwoman Hanka Kupková alongside Magdaléna Svobodová and Zdeňka Tesařová), has a public fundraising certificate from the Prague Tax Authority, and operates its public-collection account with ČSOB.

FOD's underlying technology footprint is modest: a content/transactional website, the KlokArt E-commerce platform, and integration with national donation rails (Darujme.cz, DMS SMS) — sufficient to support a community-led, donation-driven go-to-market motion rather than to anchor any differentiated technical moat. The organization's enduring strategic edge derives from its regulatory ZDVOP designation, 35-year brand equity (FOD/Klokánek), nationwide physical distribution, and a multi-stakeholder donor ecosystem that includes the City of Prague, DONIO, Nadace RSJ, MARY KAY, BONAMI, GLOBUS, MONDI, IKEA, Prague Airport, and others.

• Dětský fond České republiky: Czech national children's fund providing support and welfare services for children at risk. Directly comparable as a fellow Czech nonprofit focused on child welfare funding and program support.
• Nadace Terezy Maxové dětem: Czech foundation focused on helping children grow up in families rather than institutional care. Mission-aligned and operating in the same Czech child-welfare donor market.
• Nadace Sirius: Czech foundation specifically supporting children growing up outside their biological family, including in residential care. Directly comparable mission and beneficiary population to Klokánek.
• SOS Children's Villages Czech Republic: Operates family-style residential villages for children without parental care in the Czech Republic. Closest international model comparable to FOD's 4-children-per-caretaker, sibling-preserving family-style care.
