Polish-American Freedom Foundation has been operating since 2000. In Poland, Foundation activities concern mostly educational initiatives aiming at equal opportunities and modernisation of education, as well as at stimulating and strengthening civic participation, especially in rural areas and in small towns.
The Foundation fulfils its mission through implementation of programmes – for which it has already earmarked over USD 140 million – in three thematic areas: initiatives with regard to education, development of local communities and sharing of the Polish experience in the area of transformation. The Foundation finances its activities from the revenues generated by its endowment, the source of which is the Polish-American Enterprise Fund. The Fund has so far transferred USD 250 million to the Foundation.
The Polish-American Freedom Foundation has been supporting the YEC Programme since 2002.
