– “Non-governmental organizations operating in Kujawsko-Pomorskie are important partners for the regional self-government in nearly every area of social and economic life. We benefit from their knowledge and experience, which makes our joint initiatives more effective and efficient. The idea behind the ‘Rodzynki z pozarządówki’ competition is to support smaller organizations, mainly based on volunteer work, that implement interesting and innovative projects,” emphasizes Marshal Piotr Całbecki.
In the 18th edition of the contest, eligible participants include associations, foundations, sports clubs, rural women’s circles, fire brigades, as well as institutions of the Catholic Church and other churches and religious associations engaged in public benefit activities.
