Charity is a good thing. Helping people in need is a commendable endeavor. Our world is not without good people, and similar spiritual impulses unite many: both ordinary people with a small income level and seasoned business sharks. Therefore, many who want to help seek to create their own charitable fund to raise money for a variety of needs of people who really need it. How to create a charitable foundation, and what subtleties should be known when registering it? More on this later.
What is a charitable foundation
First of all, many people are sure that a charitable foundation and philanthropy are equivalent concepts. This is wrong. First of all, the purpose of this fund is to help people in need. The first thing to learn when creating a fundraising charity is that the law prohibits any benefit from it. If you want to discover something like this, remember that you are not doing this only for yourself, and you should never overstep that rule. People who want to make money on someone else's grief can face a lot of problems with the law, up to criminal liability for their actions. If you really want to help people - do not think about yourself and use own organization only for its intended purpose.
Before the beginning
If you want to create your own charitable foundation and are wondering where to start, before registering directly, you need to go through several important steps and think through everything carefully. These stages include:
- definition of the scope of the fund. It is simply impossible to help everyone at once;
- choosing a name and adopting the charter of the organization;
- search for employees and volunteers who are ready to assist the project;
- creating your own website on the Internet and carefully thought out advertising;
- search for people who are ready to donate money to your fund.
As for the last stage, there are often discussions on the topic: why look for them before the foundation is opened, if everyone should donate funds to us anyway? In fact, no one owes anything to anyone, and opening a charitable foundation without getting support from at least a few patrons is simply useless.
What is required for registration
Fortunately, setting up a charitable foundation in Russia is relatively quick and easy. These organizations, according to the law, are non-profit and specialize in providing social services. Before submitting documents, you need to accurately determine the direction of your organization according to the code of the all-Russian species classifier economic activity. Then you should collect all Required documents and then apply to the Ministry of Justice. You should go to the ministry with a package of papers, including:
- Application for registration. A corresponding form РН0001 has been developed for charitable foundations. The form is drawn up in two copies, after which one of them must be certified by a notary.
- The decision to establish the organization and its charter. These documents must be submitted in triplicate.
- Receipt confirming the payment of state duty.
- Documents containing all information about the addresses of the organization.
- Lease agreement or documents confirming the acquisition of the premises in which the organization will be based.
After this procedure is over, you just have to wait. The decision to register a charitable foundation is made by the Ministry of Justice within two weeks. If everything goes well, then after this time you can come to the ministry and receive all the necessary documents for the functioning of the organization.
The question of founders is not uncommon either. In fact, open this organization maybe even one individual (this is even better, since additional documents must be submitted for each founder). In addition, a variety of legal entities can open their own fund. Immediately after the ministry has given the founder all the constituent documents, he should deal with the issue of registering him in all related structures. These include:
- tax;
- compulsory insurance funds;
- statistical office.
Fund funds: where they come from and where they are spent
Unfortunately, our people are brought up in such a way that almost every charitable foundation considers it a place for cashing in “laundered” money. Indeed, some people create these organizations for this purpose, but we remind you that this is punishable. Real charitable organizations collect funds and use them for their intended purpose.
Unfortunately, a very small percentage of people are ready to donate funds to organizations of this kind (someone - because of lack of money, someone - because of their own stereotypes), so you will have to face that problem. As a rule, the main patrons for charitable foundations are rare private entrepreneurs and companies. Assistance may not always be financial, some people are ready to help, say, by purchasing equipment or other necessary things.
The charitable foundation for helping seriously ill children "DOBRO" was created in 2016 by Alla Bronnikova and Maria Orlova. The founders of the foundation have been independently active in charitable activities for several years now. The desire to help more people was the reason for the creation of an official charitable organization.
Who are we helping?
There are a lot of people who need urgent support. However, there are those among them who need it most urgently - these are small children suffering from severe, completely non-childish ailments. We are sure that the childhood of every kid should be joyful, bright, carefree, and most importantly, healthy. Unfortunately this is not possible. Some children are already born with terrible congenital diseases, and someone's diseases develop rapidly in the first years of life, they are acquired suddenly.
The main tasks and goals of our foundation:
1. Material, psychological, informational assistance to children with serious illnesses.
2. Carrying out charity events, cultural and social development handicapped children, handicapped children.
3. Assistance in implementation State program"Accessible Environment", creating conditions conducive to the integration of children with disabilities into society and improving their standard of living.
4. Implementation of socially significant charitable programs aimed at effective social adaptation of children with disabilities in society.
5. Attracting public attention to the problems and needs of sick children in Izhevsk and the Udmurt Republic.
6. Involvement of the maximum number of organizations and citizens in the activities of the fund, in order to constantly raise funds for needy children.
The principles of the charitable foundation:
1. The Foundation is a non-profit and non-profit organization. We do not use our status for personal gain or profit for fund members.
2. All employees of the foundation deeply believe that good should be done voluntarily and disinterestedly. Our relations with the Benefactors are based on these principles.
3. Our Fund is guided by the principles of openness, transparency of activities and full financial reporting.
4. To draw public attention to the problems of seriously ill children, we invite journalists and media workers to our events.
5. Our Benefactors can send their help directly to a child or children's organization in need, since the foundation provides all the necessary information for this.
Our foundation will be glad to everyone who wants to change the world for the better and give our children at least a little joy and happiness.
We invite everyone to join our friendly team. Your age, material wealth and education do not matter, because the main thing is your enthusiasm and desire to help.
We sincerely believe that more and more people will take up our initiative, because by doing charity, a person receives a huge return in the form of a child's smile, a kind word, and sincere gratitude from parents.
– Irina, tell us how the Give Hope Charitable Foundation was founded? And what does he do, who does he help?
– The fund was founded in 2004 by Euroset. At that time, the company existed for more than 7 years, and within the framework of the company's policy on social responsibility It was decided to create a Charitable Foundation "Give Hope". And that's great, because even now, not every company has a conscious decision to help people.
We provide targeted assistance to children and young people from different cities of Russia in paying for implants for high-tech spinal surgeries, chest and head, as well as in the purchase of oxygen concentrators and pulse oximeters for patients with cystic fibrosis. The human body is arranged in such a way that the sooner the necessary treatment is carried out, the greater the chances for a full restoration of the health and strength of a person, especially a child.
– I know that charity is a difficult segment, charitable foundations are aimed at helping, but who helps charitable foundations and how?
– We strive to do everything possible so that any person can provide assistance in the most convenient way for him. For example, it is easy to do this in Euroset stores through the cash desk or by dropping a donation into a special box installed in the checkout area. Also, money can be transferred to the fund's account through the payment account of the "Corn" card, as well as via SMS, through terminals, online banks and on the fund's website www.fond.euroset.ru.
Of course, thanks to the Euroset, which employs more than 26 thousand people, a large circle of people are involved in the activities of the fund, these are both the employees themselves and the buyers who participate in charity events. As part of the ongoing promotion "Yellow Friend to the Rescue" 190 rubles from the sale soft toys- yellow terrier - transferred to the fund's account. The toy can be purchased at any store and on the Euroset website. I want to note that during this campaign alone, we helped 33 seriously ill children to regain their health.
Every year, our foundation takes part in the largest in Russia Charity Festival "Soulful Bazar" and in the Festival of Charitable Foundations "Good Moscow", aimed at popularizing charity among citizens and developing the non-profit sector as a whole.
Assistance to foundations should be, first of all, targeted. If someone wants to help, you need to find out what exactly is needed. Sometimes you need to take documents, transport equipment, help with the installation of stands. For the Soul Bazar event, we accept handmade toys. Once, many huge teddy bears were donated to us, we distributed them literally throughout the country: we held a charity lottery, gave them to children in hospitals, etc.
– Tell us, please, how many children did you manage to help?
– It is difficult to name the exact number of children we have helped, as we sometimes help the same child several times. For example, after 2-3 years, the fund's ward needs a second operation to replace the structure or an oxygen concentrator with a large flow. Only in 2017, 18 people received help, who had very serious and expensive treatment.
– What is the largest donation to the Give Hope Charitable Foundation?
– The largest donation from a legal entity was about several million, and if we talk about a one-time donation from individual- 340 thousand rubles. But many help systematically and regularly, we really appreciate such care.
“Many today are skeptical about park volunteers who raise money for children by selling balloons or toys. It is legal?
– You can often meet people who sell souvenirs under the guise of raising funds to help those in need. For example, near the metro, near large shopping centers or in the parks. In most cases, this is not true. You cannot be sure of the accuracy of the information, nor of how the funds will be spent.
Having united, the funds began an active fight against fraudsters. In May of this year, our foundation signed a "Declaration of Integrity in Charity" calling on foundations not to raise funds outside the venues of organized charitable events.
We have had cases where our foundation's name and logo have been used illegally to raise funds through social media. We contacted the administration of the relevant network to block the scammers' page. In order to avoid this in the future, we are constantly monitoring.
If you see volunteers on the street who are questionable, take pictures of them, post them on social networks, this is by far the most effective method fight against illegal fundraising. Most often, attackers hire schoolchildren who are not even 18 and who do not understand that they are in fraudulent scheme.
– How to understand that a charitable foundation can be trusted?
– The Foundation must publish an annual report on its activities, it can be both in paper form and in in electronic format. Also, mandatory reporting is posted on the portal of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation non-profit organizations in the form of the Ministry of Justice. In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, funds must conduct an annual audit. If an auditor's report is published on the fund's website, this is also a sign of trust. It is important to note that the foundation will never raise funds for any personal card director or employees, nor to an individual's online wallet. The money should only go to the bank account of the organization.
Many people have the illusion that if donations are collected to the personal account of a sick person, then this money will definitely be used for its intended purpose. In fact, when you send money to a personal card, you have no way to reliably know how these funds will be used in the future, and moreover, you do not know if this information is true and prompted you to act. Whereas the fund can provide all reporting documents upon request. main feature honest fund - maximum openness and transparency of activities.
The funds are united and their actions are clearly regulated by law. In the minds of Russians, this community of foundations is changing attitudes towards charity. Meetings are held at various venues round tables, consultations of foundations, where all issues related to charity are discussed.
- You work in a foundation, does it seem that life is unfair to many?
– This is the view of a pessimist, and we are optimists. Our goal is for the younger generation to grow up healthy and improve the quality of people's lives.
After a lung transplant operation, a person can do without an oxygen concentrator. Previously, cystic fibrosis was considered a childhood disease, now, thanks to intensive treatment, such people live 25-40 years. We have had cases when, after lung transplantation, the patient began to lead a normal life. Of course, treatment continues all the time, because the disease is genetic.
Over the past 20 years, the philanthropy sector in Russia has changed dramatically. Consistency brought charity to a professional level. We want to make it possible to receive qualified assistance, including medical, in different cities of Russia.
Understanding that you are improving the world, you can change something is an indescribable feeling. Join now! Donating is so easy!

1. It's work
Yes, yes, which you also need to go to every day, be in the office from 10 to 19 with a lunch break (in fact, more often without it), make plans and schedules, write reports, argue with superiors, go on vacation, weave undercover intrigues, bickering with colleagues, being dumb on Facebook, drinking coffee, in short, doing all the things that normal people do in normal jobs.
2. Fund employees get paid
Naturally, the level of salaries, on average, is lower than the average market for similar positions (direction manager, financial director, etc.), but quite competitive. Nevertheless, first of all, ideological people go to work in the foundations, but, surprisingly, they also need to eat, drink, rent housing and go on vacation.
3. BF employees are people too
They are just as tired, angry, sometimes work infuriates them, and there are days when they don’t want anything at all. These are not heavenly creatures eating rainbows and pooping butterflies, but quite ordinary people who joke cynically, swear, have sex and drink on Friday night. Ordinary people who do extraordinary things on a daily basis because it's their job.
4. This is not amateur performance
A charitable foundation is not “my friends and I got together and decided to help homeless dogs!”. Funds are legal entities, which pay taxes for their employees, conclude agreements with appendices with ward families and treatment centers, pay rent for office space and are subject to very strict legislation in this area. So, for example, with every benefactor who wants to transfer at least 10 rubles to the fund, it is necessary to conclude an agreement, so if on the street you are offered to buy a ball in favor of children with cancer, then with a probability of 99% this is a fraud.
5. Funds have their own areas of work
There are not fewer people and everyone else who needs help, and probably never will. It is important to understand that if you want to help save whales in New Zealand, then it makes no sense to apply to the Gift of Life Foundation. Each fund helps to solve specific problems and works in a specific direction: helping people (children, adults, the elderly), helping animals, preserving nature, and so on. You just have to choose where to focus your efforts!
6. Any BF employee works within the framework of the fund
This is not Mother Teresa, who gathers all the unfortunate orphans and the poor in a row under her wing. This is an employee of the organization who works within the framework of the activities of the fund, in accordance with the Charter and the current legislation of the Russian Federation. Believe me, charitable organizations check with such an addiction that commercial structures never dreamed of.
The council (or commission) includes doctors, founders of the fund, coordinators of the work of one or another direction. That is, just come and say, “Guys, I want to get treated in Switzerland!” it is forbidden. It is necessary to provide documents confirming the diagnoses, on the basis of which the commission will decide on assistance in each specific situation. In any case, a package of documents will be required. This is done not only to make life difficult for people with serious diseases or disabilities, but also to protect funds from scammers who work in this direction.
8. Work in the non-profit sector requires education and special skills
Unfortunately, now the philanthropy sector in Russia is only going through its formation, therefore educational institutions, where specialists would be trained in this particular area, no. Everyone who comes to work in the fund gains knowledge and skills in the field, applying the skills acquired in other areas. Naturally, this is a difficult and slow process, but it is worth it.
9. Help is easy
In the twenty-first century, when spaceships plow the expanses of the Universe, it is easy to help with a ruble: all decent funds have short numbers to which you can send SMS, indicating the amount of the donation. In addition, many funds allow you to set up so-called recurring payments - in this case, with your bank card The amount you specify will be debited monthly. In addition, there are aggregators that also help funds raise money - one of the largest is [email protected]: there you can select the fund, project you are interested in, set up automatic payment and much more. If you do not trust financial schemes, then you can always volunteer and see the work of the fund from the inside with your own eyes. As they say, welcome!
10. Charitable foundations never give money in hand.
That is, the fund does not transfer 200,000 euros for an operation in Germany in a white envelope to those in need simply because it does not have the right to do so. Every penny and every ruble is accountable. Self-respecting funds monthly post reports on the income and expenditure of funds on their websites, which everyone can see. And payment for treatment occurs directly to the clinics with which the contract is concluded. If you wish, these documents can also be consulted.
11. Do not do good and bring joy
If the foundation refused your invaluable help - for example, you passionately desire to give your old children's piano to the suffering, and these bad people refuse and fight back with everything they can - this does not mean that they are snickering. Sometimes the foundations simply do not have the resources to take this piano of yours out, and sometimes this piano is absolutely not needed at the moment either by the ward or the sponsored orphanage. Trust the employees - they will definitely tell you what kind of help the fund needs right now.
12. Help is not necessarily crazy millions of money
Any amount is necessary and important: if 1,000 people transfer 100 rubles each, then you get 100,000 rubles - is that impressive? This will make it possible to pay for a rehabilitation course for a child with developmental disabilities, to purchase consumables for the hospital or food for a dog shelter. It is better to help little by little, but regularly, then the fund has the opportunity to plan its work, income and expenses.
13. Volunteers are the main pillar of the work of the Charity Fund
Therefore, volunteering should be taken seriously and as responsibly as possible. The “I want to do it, I want to do it, I don’t do it” approach is not an option. They count on you, and if you promised, be sure to do it. Funds do not have the opportunity to stimulate interest in the case with the ruble, so everything remains only on your conscience and under your responsibility.
14. All requests are checked
Not only by a commission or an expert council, but also by a responsible employee of the fund. If we are talking about expensive treatment, it is necessary to check the correctness of the diagnosis, the appropriateness of this particular therapy option, and much, much more. Is there really no way to help in the Russian Federation? Is this drug really necessary? In addition, all funds interact with each other and share information about scammers who apply to funds for the purpose of personal gain and enrichment - surprisingly, these also happen.
15. You can turn to the fund not only for money, but also for advice.
If at the moment the fund cannot accept the application or, for example, does not deal with the problem that interests you, then the fund’s employees will advise where you can apply, and in some cases they will be able to send you for an additional consultation with a specialist. Don't be shy, these people know the problem they're dealing with from the inside.
16. Only 20% of the money the fund has the right to spend on administrative expenses
Moreover, these 20% are taken from the amount spent on the activities of the fund in accordance with the Charter. These expenses include office rent, payment of operating expenses (Internet, telephone, etc.), employee salaries, and so on. Spent 100 rubles - so 20 rubles can be spent on yourself. But it is believed that it is better to spend less. For example, "Give Life" spends about 4-6%, and the fund "Galchonok" - about 12%. The best is for children!
17. Children in orphanages need consumables much more than toys and iPhones.
Surprisingly, often the simplest things are not enough in orphanages and nursing homes: sheets, diapers, catheters, diapers. If you want to help some state-owned institution, it is better to first contact the administration or the fund that patronizes it, in order to know exactly what is useful to bring. And to be completely honest, people in such institutions always lack only one thing - simple human attention.
18. If a person has special needs, this does not mean that he is a beautiful sweet white bunny.
It seems to everyone that people in charity are saints, and that those whom they help are the same, generally directly kissed by luminaries. NO! The beneficiaries are very often absolutely disgusting, disgusting and difficult to help. But you help, because in charity they help not only the good and pleasant, but they try to help everyone.
The site would like to thank Ksenia Onopko (Galchonok Foundation), Ekaterina Milova (Orbi Foundation) and Alexandra Babkina ([email protected] project) for their help in preparing the material.

Do you want to receive one interesting unread article per day?
In order to engage in charity, it is not necessary to be a major entrepreneur or have a serious time and personal resource.One of the first Russian sociologists Lev Ilyich Mechnikov was sure that human society develops according to other laws than the animal world with its natural selection. In the process of historical development, Mechnikov believed, the struggle for existence is gradually supplanted by the process of cooperation. This is where social progress is manifested: a sense of solidarity, belonging, a sense of being part of society gives rise to the habit of helping each other and moving forward together.
As a scientist, Mechnikov was distinguished by his unshakable faith in the natural goodness of mankind. Perhaps he was not so far from the truth: after all, one of the key trends in the modern world is the widespread development of charity. Corporation "Russian Textbook" happily follows this one of the most positive trends of our time.
Why do people do good deeds?
Charitable is any act of voluntary assistance to those who need it. Considering that every day in all parts of the world tens of thousands of people voluntarily do good deeds, we can safely say that Lev Mechnikov, for all the idealism of his scientific doctrine, was somewhat right.
Modern scientists, psychologists and sociologists believe that, firstly, a significant part of humanity has a penchant for altruism. Secondly, by helping others, almost all people feel better, realize their own importance, their self-esteem increases, and general anxiety decreases. An important role is played by the sense of collective responsibility for the planet on which we live, and awareness of oneself as part of society. By helping others, we help ourselves:
- we make the world around us more kind and merciful;
- observing the result of our good deeds, we realize that we are able to influence the situation, change the world for the better;
- share the results of our own success with others;
- we are aware of our involvement, connection with the world community, we help it move forward.
What is charity?
Most often, speaking of charitable activities, we recall the names of large entrepreneurs and magnates, such as Henry Ford And Bill Gates. Having built their gigantic corporations and achieved tremendous success, they considered it their duty to share the fruits of their success with all of humanity: to help young scientists, send large sums to funds to combat incurable diseases, open free schools. So, Bill and Melinda Gates have spent more than $28 billion for charitable purposes over the years of their activity, Warren Buffitt– more than 25 billion. Founder social network Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, although relatively recently built his capital, has already spent half a billion dollars to support educational projects in USA.
Indeed, the most "high-profile" acts of charity are related to material support. This can be the transfer of food, water, clothing, medicines to people in need, or the transfer of an amount of money to the account of a person struggling with a serious illness, or the provision of any material benefits for the needs of other people (refugees, residents of countries in a difficult economic situation, starving in Africa and Southeast Asia, etc.).
However, in modern world other forms of philanthropy are also of great importance. For example, disinterested and free performance of work and provision of services. This form of charity includes an ordinary community work day, a free consultation with a doctor, and the activities of volunteers who organize holidays in orphanages. These acts of kindness are usually small in scale, but provide great support to individuals and increase the general level of trust and goodwill in society.
Another form of charity is the gratuitous transfer of one's own knowledge and skills to followers. These can be free lectures and master classes, support by research institutes for young scientists and promising projects, and educational initiatives.
In order to engage in charity, it is not necessary to be a major entrepreneur or have a serious time and personal resource. Each of us can choose for himself a convenient form of charitable activity: establish patronage over a large family, regularly send small amounts to a charitable foundation, become a blood donor or donate good books to the local library. All these are acts of charity, no less important than the activities of Potanin and Zuckerberg.
Charity in Russia
Many international research centers are currently studying the phenomenon of charity. According to the results of their research, the charitable movement in Russia has its own characteristics. Thus, according to RBC, in 2013, Russia ranked 127th out of 145 in the world in terms of the desire of capital for charity. Allegedly, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation “gives twice as much to charity in a year than the 15 largest Russian oligarchs put together in three years.”
However, in matters of charity, the amount of capital allocated to a good cause is not the main criterion. Charity is exactly the same job as running a business: it needs a well-defined plan, professional management, quality Feedback. What is important is not how much money was directed to certain needs, but how effectively these funds were used.
Where does a good deed start?
The head of external relations tells about the practice of charitable activities of the corporation "Russian Textbook" * Ekaterina LATYPOVA:
The publishing houses that have now merged into the Russian Textbook Corporation have always provided support to various organizations: schools, medical institutions, libraries. At one time, the Drofa publishing house took care of the enclosure with bustards in the Moscow Zoo. However, this is perhaps the only charitable act that became known to a wide circle: we mainly worked on direct requests and appeals. They write to us, ask for help, we respond.
- Why is not so much known about the charitable activities of publishing houses?
We have no task to talk about what and for whom we have done. It is quite natural for us: to stock school libraries or to hold free classes for children. This is part of our social responsibility.
- Tell me, what form of support seems most relevant to you now?
My colleagues and I like the idea that The best way help - give not a fish, but a fishing rod. That is, we can pour more and more material resources into “problem” areas, but if we do not educate the younger generation, do not instill in children the habit of doing small good deeds (not necessarily related to money or material goods), then our activity will not be quite effective. Now that we have become a large and strong corporation, we can take on a really big thing: to help shape the right worldview.
If you now had the opportunity to talk to younger students about charity, what would be the first thing you would say to them?
First of all, I would say that in the modern world it is impossible to develop if you do not notice others and do not help them. That help can be very different, it does not have to be money. A simple kind word, attention, simple regular work for the benefit of other people is a natural and normal practice for modern man. And yet - you can engage in charitable activities not only within the framework of a large organization. It’s convenient, of course, to cooperate with foundations or buy mittens at McDonald’s, but you can also do good yourself, the main thing is to see who needs your help and be aware of your strengths. Charity is an area where one man in the field is very much a warrior.
I often read in the news about charitable initiatives of schoolchildren and teachers. How nice that schoolchildren, under the guidance of class teachers, help sick children, elderly lonely people, buy stationery, toys for orphanages.
In April of this year, students of school No. 25 in the city of Vladimir collected gifts for orphans. This is incredibly inspiring! Educators, please note: it's great when educational projects in biology or the world around them are not only entertaining, but also socially significant, and carry a good grain.
You can help too!
Collaborate with a major charitable foundation can not only large companies. A family, a teacher, a school class, an initiative group of parents with children can act as a benefactor.
We would like to give two pieces of advice to aspiring philanthropists. Firstly, choose proven large funds, and secondly, do not be shy! Dial the phone numbers listed on the official websites, ask questions, clarify how and what your donations will be spent on, ask for a report - many funds are happy to provide such data, regardless of how much you spent.
Also, don't forget that a good deed isn't always about money. Participation in charity events and marathons as volunteers is a great opportunity for schoolchildren and their class teachers to feel that they can help others and make the world a little kinder.
Charitable foundations, which you can already turn to to do a good deed:
