Our commitment
We want our monuments to serve everyone because they are an important part of a healthy, sustainable, inclusive and just society.
The F8M Foundation was established to engage everyone in the protection of historical monuments and the realization of their potential. This is our original concept, Innovation Manor®. Our organization's ambition is to create beautiful, harmonious, multifunctional spaces accessible to everyone. We focus on forgotten historical monuments, particularly in rural areas and smaller towns. We believe they are a valuable resource for communities, economic development, and combating climate change. We are inspired by the ideals of the New European Bauhaus. This means that our projects are interdisciplinary, go beyond the beaten track, and are based on collaboration. We strive not only to preserve cultural heritage but also to create a space in which everyone can participate and benefit from our activities.
I Support
You can help us fulfill our mission in many ways. Get started today! You can support us for free, join our volunteer team, or become a donor. Remember, donations are tax-deductible.
Why is it worth trusting us?
There are nearly 80,000 historic buildings in Poland. The National Heritage Institute (NID) estimates that public funding can cover approximately 20% of their needs. This means that the remaining 80% of funds for the renovation and maintenance of historic buildings must come from the public and businesses. At the Foundation, we also believe that a well-managed historic building can earn its own living through proper management of all resources, including energy, as well as through economic and social activity.
