Nadační fond Albert

What Nadační fond Albert does

Nadační fond Albert is a Czech charitable foundation (nadační fond) established in 2009–2010 and headquartered at Radlická 520/117, Jinonice, Prague 5 (IČ: 28967496). Its mission is to support children and youth from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, including those in children's homes, through a portfolio of grant programs, educational initiatives, material assistance, and scholarship funding. Over 16 years of operation, the foundation has supported more than 400 organizations and disbursed in excess of 170 million CZK in cumulative donations, with most recent annual disbursements in the 8–14 million CZK range.

The foundation operates a portfolio of interconnected programs rather than a single product line. Core offerings include Bertík pomáhá (an annual grant program distributing approximately 5 million CZK in 2026 across up to 100 projects selected via customer voting), Zdravá 5 (a 14-year nationwide nutrition and healthy-lifestyle educational program reaching 35,000+ children per school year, with a 500-team national cooking competition finale), Obchůdky s Albertem (an Easter and Advent entrepreneurship and financial-literacy project in which children's homes sell handcrafts in Albert stores), Stipendijní grant (a scholarship program launched in 2025 offering up to 50,000 CZK per academic year to university students from children's homes), Darování kreditů (a credit-donation program integrated with the Můj Albert loyalty app), Sportovní výzva, Bertíkova štafeta (wish-fulfillment), Do Alberta na praxi (workplace skills internship), Běh pro Nadační fond Albert (employee charity run), Materiální pomoc (material assistance to NGOs), and Sbírka potravin (food collection drives conducted in Albert stores in partnership with the Czech Food Banks Federation). Underlying technology is limited to the foundation's website, an online grant-application portal, and the Můj Albert loyalty-app integration operated by parent sponsor Ahold Czech Republic; no proprietary software, AI, or API platform is disclosed.

The foundation's business model is charitable rather than commercial: there is no revenue-generating pricing model, and no venture, public, or private-equity ownership. Income is sourced primarily from Albert retail customers who donate loyalty-app credits, from corporate contributions by Ahold Czech Republic, and from in-store fundraising events. Distribution occurs through 173 Albert stores across the Czech Republic, direct partnerships with children's homes and NGOs, and participating primary and nursery schools for Zdravá 5. Governance is provided by a Správní rada (Administrative Board) chaired by Jiří Mareček, with a Dozorčí rada (Supervisory Board) and a small project management team. The organization is operationally active and recognized by Forum dárců.
