In 2019, the LOTOS Foundation received almost 900 requests for donations. Following reviews, 125 projects received funding totalling PLN 8m (around 33% more than in the previous year).
The principal criterion taken into account in the selection of projects was their potential to ensure equal opportunities. The largest share went to sports projects aimed at supporting the physical development of children and youth, such as sports trips, as well as support for sports clubs.
- Sports (45%)
- Culture, art and national heritage (28%)
- Social initiatives (12%)
- Health protection and promotion(9%)
- Science and education (6%)
The second largest pool of funds was donated to initiatives promoting culture, arts and national heritage. The remainder was spent on social initiatives, health protection and promotion, science and education.
Financial support for medical treatment of our current and retired employees and their relatives was particularly important to us.
