PGNiG Foundation

The PGNiG “Ignacy Łukasiewicz” Foundation was established in November 2004 by PGNiG SA as the only founding donor.

The scope of activities of the Foundation includes broadly termed support to national heritage and culture, but also to science and education in the field of basic and technical sciences and sports. The objectives of the Foundation also include promotion of historical education, the  building of national identity and activities aimed at  guarding the memory of Polish heroes.

In the currently launched programmes of the Foundation a particular role is played by:

• learning about Polish history,
• education and science – history and technical sciences,
• promotion of sports among children and young people,
• educational programmes launched for children and youth,
• support to schools bearing the name of Ignacy Łukasiewicz,
• support of cultural and historical events in memory of the Doomed Soldiers (soldiers of Poland’s anti-communist underground after WWII).

In February 2016 the PGNiG Foundation launched a new programme “Warming up Polish hearts” .

As a Polish capital company, PGNiG decided to increase its engagement in service to Poles and their history. Under the “Warming up Polish hearts” motto the PGNiG company and it Foundation will implement programmes presenting, in a modern way, issues of national identity, history and patriotism. Special care has been devoted by the PGNiG Foundation to the memory of the Doomed Soldiers whose deeds were forgotten over many decades. Veterans will be provided support under the programme and educational and cultural events will be held.
