Y Soft CSR Fund

The Y Soft CSR Fund supports charitable projects selected by the company’s employees.

ABOUT THE FUND
In early 2019, the company Y Soft established a donor fund at Via Foundation. The mission of the Y Soft CSR Fund is to support charitable projects and initiatives in all of the countries in which the company has a presence and also to engage Y Soft employees and contractors in giving, and inspire them to personally support charitable projects in their own communities. In 2019, almost 100 employee participated and a total of CZK 570,000 was awarded in grants.

OUR ONLINE GIVING APP
Y Soft employees had the opportunity to award small grants from the Fund to non-profit projects at their discretion. They nominated and awarded grants through an online application, which was custom-designed and administered by Via Foundation. You can read more about our employee giving programs here.

FEEDBACK FROM Y SOFT EMPLOYEES

Summer camp volunteer
“You can just imagine how many stories emerge from this type of volunteering – everything from being the hobbit, a wizard or a pirate at a summer camp to trying to survive with just a few things in the woods. I also love being able to inspire young children, be a role model for them, teach them how to make a fire…,”.

Helping in a retirement home
“My great-grandmother survived a concentration camp but unfortunately she died when I was very young. So I don’t have many memories of being with her. During my volunteering in a retirement home in Buštěhrad, I spoke with one of the ladies who live there, and I found out that she knew my great-grandmother. It was an emotional moment for me…and I made me feel much closer to my great-grandmother. Googling everything that you need is awesome, but nothing can beat the power of story-telling.”

Support of Roma students
“I volunteer as a mentor for a young student. She is interested in information technology and wants to study it. We meet every week to practise English and to work on an IT project.”
