Warsaw NGO Support Centre (SCWO) is a free support system for NGOs working for Warsaw and its inhabitants. We directly support foundations and associations. We also work with public officers who cooperate with NGOs as well as with NGOs active in Social Dialogue Committees.
How do we support NGOs?
SCWO's goal is to support associations and foundations in institutional development. Both newly developed organisations and those operating for a number of years are welcome to make use of the offer.
At SCWO we know that non-governmental organisations are different from each other and therefore their needs are different. That is why our free offer is tailored to fit the specifics of organisations’ operations on different levels of institutional development, as well as concrete needs arising from managing a particular foundation or association.
SCWO offer
SCWO's offer is complex and diverse, which allows each NGO to choose what best answers its needs and in turn increase the quality and effectiveness of its work.
Financial and non-financial cooperation with the city of Warsaw, accountancy and reporting, diversifying sources of funding, using new technologies in the organisation's work – these are only a few of the topics we deal with at SCWO.
The support is provided by experts in their fields who are also well acquainted with the realities of the third sector.
In SCWO, organisations can choose from (among others):
- individual consultations and advice for organisations
- trainings and seminars
- webinars
- rooms and co-working spaces
- annual education cycles
- assistance in organising meetings and trainings
- warszawa.ngo.pl – website supporting Warsaw NGOs.
Check out how we supported NGOs in 2017.
Who else can use the offer of SCWO?
We realise that in order for an NGO to develop, it is important who it cooperates with and what is the quality of this cooperation. This is why we not only support individual organisations, but also representatives of the city of Warsaw public administration who have contact with NGOs working in Warsaw.
Our actions are also targeting NGOs active in Social Dialogue Committees, as we are aware of the importance of social dialogue and the cooperation environment.
