Activities for employees and the community
Our activities also extend to LPP employees and the immediate environment of our organisation – families, neighbours and others.
The activities of the LPP Foundation go beyond charitable aid. They also include participation in the everyday life of the above-mentioned groups, which we achieve in many ways.
LPP employees share their good fortune with others and support the LPP Foundation in its activities.
Goodness also returns to them when they need it.
Minigrants – our idea for helping
Minigrants is an employee volunteering programme run by the LPP Foundation. As part of the programme, LPP employees carry out their own volunteering projects.
LPP employees also involve other people in their projects, organise the entire undertaking and work for the benefit of others. Find out more about how minigrants work by clicking the button below.
Employee volunteering is an important part of the LPP Foundation's activities. It allows our employees – male and female volunteers – to fulfil their need to help and work for social initiatives.
Employee volunteering supports the integration of employees around shared values and goals, and is also a source of personal satisfaction.
It is also an opportunity to test one's strengths and skills outside of work, meet new people from across the company, and develop teamwork skills.
Volunteering – the driving force behind the LPP Foundation
For many years, the LPP Foundation has been regularly carrying out employee volunteering activities.
Regardless of whether employees are involved in campaigns for animals, hospital patients or children in care homes, we always see enormous energy, commitment and willingness to work together.
Find out more about how our employee volunteering programme works.
The LPP Foundation believes in promoting volunteering and sharing one's free time with those most in need. Volunteering is a great tool for inter-team integration of employees.
It does not matter what employees do on a daily basis – whether they are designers, accountants or warehouse workers. When implementing a charity project, they have the opportunity to do something special for others together.
As part of its activities promoting employee volunteering, the LPP Foundation organises a number of activities that have a positive impact on the functioning of local communities. The projects are both permanent and one-off.
Support for LPP employees
The LPP Foundation also conducts numerous activities for the benefit of LPP Group employees, in addition to implementing its own projects and undertaking cross-sector cooperation.
As part of its activities for employees, the LPP Foundation runs a number of campaigns to support people who have been employed by LPP for at least two years. What is more, the families of LPP employees can also count on support.

Importantly, the support is not limited to employees, but also extends to their partners and children who are struggling with chronic illnesses. As part of this ongoing campaign, over PLN 1,000,000 has already been donated between 2017 and 2024!
In addition to the Christmas support programme, the LPP Foundation is also involved in promoting the initiative to donate 1.5% of income tax to charity. Every year, the Foundation prepares a list of employees and their loved ones who are eligible for such support.
The commitment of employees to helping others is also demonstrated by the ‘LPP Team for Kids’ project, in which the physical activity of LPP employees is converted into PLN. To date, LPP employees have run over 5,500 km and cycled over 55,000 km as part of ‘LPP Team for Kids’.
LPP Foundation for Social Economy
As part of our activities, we also support social entities whose mission is to promote the social inclusion of people in need of varying degrees of support through professional activation.
Social economy entities (SEEs) are non-profit organisations and companies whose goal is to implement social projects, such as the reintegration of socially excluded people.

By cooperating with such entities, the LPP Foundation provides real support to local communities and promotes the use of their services among employees, customers and contractors.
These small, local companies offer an opportunity for the social inclusion of people in difficult life situations, who without a helping hand, daily support and faith in their abilities would find the road to independence very difficult.
As part of its cooperation with the Social Innovation Foundation, since 2021, LPP's offices in the Tri-City have been visited by the Piaggio Kawiarni Kuźnia café, which provides first jobs for young people from children's homes.
This gives LPP employees the opportunity to learn about the café's mission, purchase its products and thus become personally involved in the development of this initiative. In December 2024, the LPP Foundation organised the first Social Economy Week at LPP offices in the Tri-City and Krakow, combining Christmas preparations with activities for local social enterprises.
The effects of our social support
Projects in the area of employee and environment support have yielded very broad, positive results. This has been confirmed by the figures, but above all it has been felt by those involved in their implementation and the beneficiaries of our actions.
Feelings are not measurable, but the effects are. And here we also have confirmation in the figures, which confirm the impressions mentioned earlier.
The material benefits are the well-being of the beneficiaries, which is the overriding goal of the LPP Foundation in the implementation of its projects.
Summary of activities in figures
The effects of our activities are also reflected in the figures relating to projects in the area of employee and environment support.
Since 2019, we have allocated a total of almost PLN 300,000 to the implementation of our employees' ideas as part of the Minigrants programme.
The total cost of preparing Christmas support for employees has already exceeded PLN 1,000,000.
It should be added that in the case of the latter amount, support was provided not only to our employees, but also to their families.
Other figures
In December 2024, the LPP Foundation invited five social enterprises to participate in Social Economy Week at the LPP offices in the Tri-City and Krakow. Each of them sold their products, integrating people at risk of social exclusion into society.
The kilometres we run and cycle also have a real impact on reality through the implementation of our projects. As part of the ‘LPP Team for Kids’ project, the physical activity of LPP employees is converted into zlotys.
The participants ran a total of 5,500 km for those in need. Those who chose to cycle covered over 55,000 km.
