Since 2023, the POP Fund has been supporting the activities of non-governmental organizations in Poland. Thanks to this initiative, many projects have gained new opportunities for development, and thousands of people have received essential aid. The 4th edition of the grant competition is another example of how collaboration between non-governmental organizations and businesses can yield tangible benefits for society. In total, over 8 million PLN have been allocated through the competition.
