Help Us with Our Efforts

We are a leader among Czech foundations and NGOs. We cooperate with private philanthropists, take care of their donations responsibly and fulfil a common vision. We distribute funds to civil society organizations, which we have mapped out over the long term and know well. We complement financial support with education and innovation. In the 30 years of our existence, we have supported more than 10,000 projects with a total of more than CZK 2 billion. Society changes and evolves, foundations remain. We are a stable base of support.

We take care of democracy in the Czech Republic. You can become part of our efforts as:

DONOR

Whether you are an individual person or you represent a company, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to help you choose a suitable topic, we offer you regular information about the progress and impacts of the project you are supporting, the possibility of participation in the project or a personal meeting with the people being supported. Naturally, there is also the possibility of drawing up a donation contract and issuing a certificate about the donation for tax purposes.

We also welcome in-kind donations, we are particularly interested in hardware and software for our office (mainly laptops), space for rent, organizing events and catering.

“It might seem that supporting an engaged society and democracy is boring, because it already exists here and there is no need to change it. But it needs to be nurtured in order to keep it going. That’s why I support the OSF Prague, which is focused on having a long-term positive impact.”

Donor funds: We can manage your finances

Donor funds are an inspirational philanthropic tool. You can start a fund with us as a company, family or individual, we will take care of the management of the fund, including all of its administration. We also can offer you consultations. Take advantage of our rich experience in choosing the appropriate thematic focus for your fund and the possibility for connecting with experts in the field of law, education, the media scene and others.

The OSF Generation Fund: Build a Donor Club with us, the OSF Generation Fund

Since its inception in 1992, we have been at the birth of innovative projects. In the Czech Republic, we were the first to invest in art and theatre, harm-reduction or inclusive education. We supported the creation of initiatives such as Česko.Digital, Reconstruct the State or Cesta Domů (the Way Home), we were present at the birth of Eduzměna (Edu-change) and we led the Platform for Early Childhood Care and Development to become an independent entity.

We follow this tradition with the OSF Generation Fund, where we invest your initial seed capital meaningfully in further innovations and to support current burning issues. Search with us for gaps and overlooked areas in the non-profit sector and in the field of civil society.

Charitable Bequests

Have you thought about what will happen to your money or assets one day? What legacy will you leave behind? In the Czech Republic, nearly 150 million crowns a year is forfeited to the state from people who died without an heir and did not make a will.

By making a will, you can decide how your assets will be dealt with on that day. You can leave part of your estate to charitable causes, for the benefit of a foundation or a non-profit organisation whose activities you value.

Whoever writes their will during the Month of Charitable Giving and remembers to give even a part of it to a charitable organisation will receive a reimbursement voucher for a notary fee of up to 1800, excluding VAT, from the Coalition for Easy Giving.

MENTOR

We are looking for experts in financial management, HR, strategic planning, advertising, social media, PR, fundraising, (digital) marketing, IT, law, economics, translation, graphics, printing etc.

“At the OSF Prague, I focus on strategic direction, streamlining operations and financial oversight and decision-making. Offering experience and providing mentoring is an effective way of transferring and developing not only professional but also managerial skills.”

AMBASSADOR

Promote the work of the OSF Prague. We will be happy if you spread the word about our activities and our ideas on the web, social networks, at workplaces, to business partners or to friends.

“Supporting the OSF Prague makes perfect sense to me. Its principles and objectives are still far from being achieved. Society continues to develop and we must continue to support it so that all of the groups that make up the entire society have a level playing field to reach their potential.”
