We motivate talented
young people to pursue
their dreams and learn English
About us
Effectus Papilionis Foundation was established in 2005 as the initiative of a group of young Poles in London. For over 15 years, we have been motivating talented and ambitious young people from small towns and villages and supporting their education. During this time, we have provided support to over 1,000 students from the remotest corners of Poland. Our graduates are pursuing their careers at leading Polish and overseas universities (including the University of Oxford, the University of Warsaw, and the Poznań University of Economics and Business) and are fulfilling their professional dreams by pursuing various career paths.
The Effectus Papilionis Foundation is an apolitical, independent and registered Public Benefit Organization. The Foundation is not engaged in any business activity and relies on the work of volunteers.
Activities
We believe that young people’s lives can be changed through small, encouraging impulses given at an early stage of development, and that this can allow them to choose bold and demanding paths. Our goal is to help our pupils realize that believing in their own talents, ambitious goal setting and consistency in action are the key elements which open up new opportunities. Our business is based on three pillars:
Programme
Weekends
Courses
Patronage
Effectus Papilionis Foundation has been awarding scholarships, organizing motivational trips for its Scholarship Holders and conducting free English classes in rural schools for several years.
We use the institution of patronage known for centuries to support our charges. We have created a program in which individual and institutional donors assume the role of a Patron and with their means help to finance the education of ambitious young people from disadvantaged regions of the country.
Perhaps thanks to you, we will be able to increase the number of people we help.

Support
The activity of Effectus Papilionis Foundation is possible thanks to the Donors (individual and institutional) and the work of Volunteers. We raise funds: (a) during cyclical events for Institutional Partners (e.g. Dodgeball Tournament), (b) from individual Donors and Patrons, (c) thanks to 1,5% income tax payments by individuals. The collected funds are allocated to statutory activities, with minimal administrative burden.
