General information

​

Slovene Philanthropy is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political organisation established in 1992 with the aim of developing and promoting different forms of humanitarian activity in Slovenia.

​

The objective of Slovene Philanthropy is to encourage and spread volunteering and other charity work in the social field by: developing programmes of voluntary work, especially the voluntary work of youth and of the elderly; promoting volunteering through training and educating volunteers, organisers and mentors of voluntary work; raising public awareness of the importance of volunteers; developing the network of volunteer organisations throughout Slovenia.

​

Our activities are not carried out only in Slovenia. A considerable part of our work takes place in countries affected by armed conflicts, in countries originating from former Yugoslavia and other countries in South East Europe. With its activities Slovene Philanthropy has been contributing to peace and stability.
