Our work · Philanthropy

The culture of giving begins
from people who decide to help.

The Studenica Foundation connects donors, alumni, volunteers and partners around one simple idea: to turn knowledge, time, experience and resources into new opportunities for young people.

Philanthropy is not just about money. It can be a scholarship, time, mentorship, expertise, partnership or a decision to ease the way for the next generation.

Why giving?

The best result of support is a person who later supports someone else.

The foundation was created through the philanthropic idea of investing in education. Today, that idea continues through scholarships, the alumni network, volunteering, donors and people who give their experience back to the community.

Students
Support creates room for development.

The scholarship gives the young man more security to focus on education.

Alumni
Experience can come full circle.

Former scholars can be mentors, partners, volunteers or donors.

Community
Giving is more powerful when it's not one-time.

Long-term relationships create a support network that lasts longer than a single project.

How to get involved

Five ways to make support concrete.

Not everyone has to contribute in the same way. It is important that there is a clear, responsible and beneficial attitude towards the people for whom the support is intended.

Institutions, companies and organizations can develop programs of public importance together with the Foundation.

Tradition of endowment

Giving is not a minor theme of the Foundation. It is the way in which the Foundation was created.

From the founders and first benefactors to today's donors, alumni, partners and volunteers, the work of Studenica depends on people who believe that investing in education has long-term value for society.

From knowledge to community. The goal is not only to help one person today, but to build generations that will be able to help others tomorrow.
