Statement by “ Reduta Dobrego Imienia”  regarding the alleged obtaining of funding from the “Narodowy Institut Wolnosci”(the National Freedom Institute).

At the end of April, the National Freedom Institute announced the results of a competition for funding under the so-called capital. On May 4, 2021 the TV station ,TVN 24 informed about the results of the competition and the beneficiaries of the project, the information can be found at the link: https://tvn24.pl/polska/pieniadze-z-narodowego-instytutu-wolnosci-gazeta-wyborcza-o-powiazaniu-beneficjentow-z- power-5084733

The authors of the above-mentioned  publication indicate ( 3:03 minutes of the video) that the “Reduta Dobrego Imienia “Foundation, as part of the financing for 2021, is a beneficiary and received a grant from the National Freedom Institute. This information is false and misleads the public.

The National Freedom Institute is a valuable institution that supports civic society, but “Reduta Dobrego Imienia” has neither applied for nor received funding under the PROO project (Program for the Development of Civic Organizations) – Edition 2021 from the National Freedom Institute – emphasizes Maciej Świrski, President of “Reduta Dobrego Imienia”.

The list of grant beneficiaries from the National  Freedom Institute can be found at: https://niw.gov.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Lista-Wniosk%c3%b3w-zakfinansowani-do-oceny-marańycznej-%e2 % 80% 93-downloadable.pdf

According to the information on the above-mentioned site the list of beneficiaries does not include the “Reduta Dobrego Imienia” Foundation.
