KIK ENDOWMENT FUND CAMPAIGN 2026–2028

The KIK Endowment Fund Campaign  2026–2028 is a three-year, jubilee fundraising initiative. Its goal is to build an endowment fund that ensures long-term stability and financial independence for the Club of Catholic Intelligentsia. The campaign will be carried out  in stages: from a "quiet phase," focused on  the community around KIK , to a "public phase"-  promoted more widely.  The initiative is based on the engagement of both key donors and the wider community of the association, combining one-off donations with commitments to regular annual and monthly support.

Campaign Duration: 2026–2028.
Estimated Annual Net Return: PLN 500,000.
The annual net yield is primarily allocated to:

- fund management and administrative costs (approx. 8%).

These will support  key programme areas of KIK and ensure their  long-term continuation.The values, priorities, and detailed objectives of the second stage will be defined after the completion of Stage 1, based on the experience gained from building the Endowment Fund, the developed fundraising capacity, and the strategic needs of the organisation.

NAMED FUNDS

Named funds are a special form of engagement for strategic donors who wish to permanently link their family’s philanthropic tradition with KIK’s mission. This option  is available for donations of at least PLN 250,000.

Each named fund  carries the donor’s surname, or the name of a person they choose to honour (including the possibility of dedicating the fund to a loved one). A named fund: 

  • includes a dedicated webpage;
  • presents the founder’s story and motivation, or a biography of the person honoured; 
  • indicates a specific area of support.

Donors of named funds are included in KIK’s annual list of supporters, even after the end of the Endowment Fund campaign. 

 

"Without an endowment fund, we operate day-to-day. With the KIK Endowment Fund, we can plan decades ahead."

    I believe that not only those who identify with the Catholic Church in Poland, but all those who believe that the power of civic engagement makes the lives of us all better, and Polish society more cohesive and resilient to crises, may see value in ensuring  that KIK should have solid foundations for functioning in the future and could continue to play a positive role in the development of our country. With deep conviction, I have supported the Endowment Fund currently being established. And I sincerely encourage others to do the same.
