The Foundation: PricewaterhouseCoopers „Podaruj siebie” started its activity in November 2005. Its main aim is to equalize educational opportunities and improve the quality of education of children from the social margin and give them opportunity to enter the job market. That is why we want to support the increase of social awareness and popularize initiatives facilitating social integration. Our activities are wholly based on knowledge, skills and resources of PwC employees. The foundation offers support for the chosen non-governmental organizations within the three areas:
- Consulting: PwC employees give advice to organizations supported by our Foundation in the area of their skills and professional competences. Mostly, consulting concerns: taxes, accountancy, marketing, public relations, legal issues, IT and website creation
- Voluntary work: Foundation’s activities include aid and support in organizing actions, events and picnics for children and youth. Our employees-volunteers help in office work, editing and translations. They also engage themselves in help in education and organization of entertainment for children, as well as organizing informative meetings for the youth applying for jobs.
