NET4GAS TO DONATE 700 THOUSAND CROWNS TO CHARITY PROJECTS
OF ITS EMPLOYEES
Prague, June 16, 2014 – NET4GAS provides ongoing support to employees who dedicate their
free time to working on projects for a good cause. In 2014, the company will donate over CZK
700,000, with the sum to be distributed among more than 30 projects. NET4GAS will make use of
the Companius program to provide assistance to organizations that focus on environmental
protection, activities for children, senior citizens, and handicapped persons, as well as various
other undertakings. Grant applications are to be filed by employees taking part in the
implementation of individual projects.
"We are happy to see our employees involved in helping others, and we want to assist them in their
endeavors," explains NET4GAS's Senior Public Relations Specialist, Zuzana Kučerová.
Every application filed by an employee is reviewed by a committee with a view to the firm's criteria for
awarding grants. Financial assistance is provided on the condition that the applicant is personally
involved in the given project or organization. In this way, NET4GAS's Companius program helps
charities obtain funds for such purposes as the purchase of equipment or the lease of sports facilities.
The amount of individual donations ranges between 15 and 40 thousand crowns.
One example of the projects supported by NET4GAS is Getting Well with Licorice: Always Enriching the
Life of Patients in the Thomayer Hospital, through which the Licorice Civil Association assists sick
persons undergoing therapy. Sizeable donations will also be given to Protebe (For You) and People In
Need for organizing an integrated camp for children and young people with medical disabilities, and a
summer camp for endangered children, respectively. An extraordinary donation will be paid to a
kindergarten and elementary school run by the ČCE Special Deaconry for canistherapy and
hippotherapy programs, as part of which contact with dogs and horses will be used to facilitate the
rehabilitation and psychosocial adjustment of children.
"Our donations usually do not cover the entire budget of a project, but we believe that they provide
sizeable support, and that they motivate people to engage in further charity work," adds Kučerová. The
CZK 701,630 allocated to donations this year will be distributed among 33 nonprofit organizations.
