Mission

Stock Foundation supports refugees and local communities living through the crisis of war. Since 2022 we have organized direct aid in Lublin — one of the biggest refugee reception points in Poland — with psychological support, job fairs, scholarships and help for schools.

Through Art Encounters, workshops and shared creative work we reach people struggling with loneliness, depression or a lack of inspiration. Art gives them a chance to meet, stay active and connect with others.
