Slovene Philanthropy is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political organisation established in 1992 with the aim of developing and promoting different forms of humanitarian activity in Slovenia.

Our activities are not carried out only in Slovenia. A considerable part of our work takes place in countries affected by armed conflicts, in countries originating from former Yugoslavia and other countries in South East Europe. With its activities Slovene Philanthropy has been contributing to peace and stability.
