When fate connects two artistic personalities who love to infect others with their passion and share their extraordinary energy with the world, this world begins to swirl. The Zdanowicz Be Creative Foundation – Creative Power of Help was born out of this need for action, help, faith in the lack of limitations and the desire to create a world better than the one of media hot news.
It was created by Paulina Zdanowicz – a photographer with experience in city promotion and a diploma in human resources management and her husband Bartłomiej Zdanowicz – an actor, singer and announcer. The founders, drawing strength and motivation from their passion and professional experience, assumed that the main area of the foundation’s activity would be creating free time, interpersonal integration, strengthening intergenerational ties and promoting active attitudes. They support artistic activities and help to develop interests at every stage of life and in all circumstances. Furthermore, they create a friendly space where the local community can have fun and develop. The Foundation aim is to build the world in which people want to live, showing that everything depends on commitment and creativity. In their activities they support arts ideas, implement ecological, promotional, educational and sports projects, at the same time participating in typical charity actions such as concerts, fundraisers, etc.

However, this is not the end of their activities! Other ideas in progress are:
- the ecological project “Think globally – act locally – ecological workshops in Gady” financed by the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship
- “When I grow up … huge matters of small preschoolers” – a project implemented in Paulina and Bartek’s hometown in cooperation with Creative Teachers uninformal group from Nursery School nr 5 in Lidzbark Warmiński financed from operator LGD Warmiński Zakątek.
In order to be able to spread its wings and operate on a large scale, the Foundation also conducts business activities, which allow them to gather funds only used to achieve the statutory goals. Among their ‘foundation children’, as they call it, you will find such initiatives as singing announcer, Moja Bajka – Fotografia Paulina Zdanowicz photo studio or a mobile Cap Track project financed by OWES Olsztyn, which not only brings some cozy childhood memories on your mind, but also presents obstacles referring to the symbols of Warmia-Masuria Region.

These business activities not only allow us to become independent of external sources of financing and maintain continuity of Foundation’s functioning, but also enable to successfully create a world in which we and the recipients want to live – claim the founders. It also helps us to fight against unemployment and exclusion, to employ and support the development of other people.
Every day the Zdanowicz Be Creative Foundation – Creative Power of Help consciously breaks the limits with their founders attitude and work, proving that Only Sky is the Limit.
