ORLEN Foundation launches 2.5 million PLN grant program for youth

The ORLEN Foundation has launched the second edition of its ‘Moc Odpowiedzialności’ (Power of Responsibility) grant program, allocating 2.5 million PLN to support children and youth under the age of 18. The initiative aims to develop civic agency and digital resilience through projects focused on critical thinking, cooperation, and the responsible use of new technologies, including artificial intelligence.

Supported projects can focus on two primary areas: civic agency, such as leadership workshops and democratic process simulations, and digital resilience, which includes combating disinformation and promoting media literacy. Eligible applicants include public primary and secondary schools, non-governmental organizations registered for at least two years, public libraries, and local government units. Individual grants can reach a maximum of 50,000 PLN. Applications are open until October 9, 2026, for projects scheduled to take place between January 1 and September 30, 2027.
