Why We Exist
FUNDACJA PROARTIS was established with a clear set of statutory goals that guide every decision, programme, and partnership. These objectives are not merely aspirational — they are embedded in our founding charter and define what we are legally and morally obligated to pursue as a registered Polish foundation.
Our goals reflect a conviction that the arts, culture, education, and media are not luxuries — they are essential components of a functioning, humane, and forward-looking society. Below are the core objectives that shape our work.
Statutory Objectives
To support, fund, and facilitate artistic and cultural activities in Poland — including visual arts, performing arts, music, literature, and heritage — ensuring that creativity thrives at every level of society.
To develop and support educational programmes, workshops, seminars, and training initiatives that equip individuals with the skills, knowledge, and critical thinking abilities needed in today's world.
To facilitate the creation and distribution of film, television, sound, and music content — supporting Polish and international productions that contribute to cultural dialogue and artistic excellence.
To promote the publishing industry, support authors, journalists, and content creators, and ensure that diverse written and digital content reaches broad and varied audiences across Poland.
To provide management guidance and business support services to organisations operating in the cultural and creative sectors, helping them operate efficiently and sustainably.
To facilitate advertising activities, market analysis, and public opinion research that serve the interests of cultural, educational, and social organisations and initiatives.
To create spaces and opportunities for meaningful civic participation, public discourse, and community-based engagement that strengthens democratic culture in Poland.
To forge meaningful partnerships with public institutions, private organisations, NGOs, academic bodies, and international foundations to amplify impact and share expertise across borders.
Our Mission Statement
"Every person deserves access to culture, art, and knowledge. FUNDACJA PROARTIS exists to remove the barriers that stand between people and those fundamental human experiences."
We pursue our goals through direct programme delivery, strategic partnerships, and a relentless focus on outcomes that matter to the communities we serve. Our mission is not measured in milestones alone — it is measured in lives enriched, skills developed, and cultural legacies preserved.
