Social awareness programs
Our aid projects help us understand the problems the modern world is facing. Our documentaires and educational programs drive change across societies .
Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.
Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents. We prepare unique lesson plans adapted to various stages of education. These focus on explainining the complex world of universal values and emotions, encourage reflection and the ability to draw conclusions. Ultimately help to build knowledge about ourselves and the world, and to shape attitudes towards the reality that surrounds us. As part of this commitement, we also provide workshops, conferences for teachers and faculty staff. We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.

News
The Periodic Coalition was formed to fight menstrual exclusion. Yes, in Poland.
Today, on March 8, 2021, the largest organisations working to fight menstrual exclusion have joined forces and established the Periodic Coalition. The Periodic Coalition includes Akcja Menstruacja, Szajn Magazine, Fundacja One Day, Fundacja Ja, Nauczyciel, Fundacja Pokonać Endometriozę, Grupa Ponton, Kulczyk Foundation, Moonka, Natalia Miłuńska mesiączka.com, Pani Miesiączka, Polish Red Cross, Różowa Skrzyneczka, and "Pogotowie Społeczne” Association. “Ignoring the topic of menstruation makes our BLOOD BOIL! Let's change it together!" – they wrote in the manifesto they presented at the press conference in Warsaw, announcing the next 12 months as the Year of Menstruation.
Domino Effect: Free, despite all
The tragedy of immigrant women forced into prostitution in Italy, the suffering of African victims of female genital mutilation, the humiliation and missed op-portunities of girls suffering from period poverty, or the everyday life of wom-en from Bosnia and Herzegovina who still suffer from the trauma of war – these are the most important problems that Dominika Kulczyk addresses in the new, eighth season of the documentary series "The Domino Effect". For the first time, the program is devoted entirely to women and the strength with which they face difficulties resulting from patriarchal culture, traditions, and a difficult economic and political situation. All of the very personal stories of women's strength, courage and their disagreement with exclusion prove that women are "free, despite all."
50 bold women
The „Wysokie Obcasy” magazine presented the list of “The 50 Bold of 2020”. There are the women who changed Poland last year. Among them – the president of Kulczyk Foundation, Dominika Kulczyk.
Who we are
Since 2013, the Kulczyk Foundation has been providing wise help, fighting with various forms of discrimination and inequality affecting women and girls. The activities of the foundation which I head are based on the use of sustainable solutions. Apart from the financial support we also provide the necessary knowledge by conducting educational activities. Only in this way will one be able to achieve a lasting, positive change and build a reality without gender limitations.
