About us

The humanitarian association “RTL helps children” was founded in December 2006 by RTL Hrvatska and Vecernji list. We act as a charity fund, supporting different projects dedicated to children, all over Croatia, all year long.

Supporting organizations that need assistance in realisation of a specific project
Encouraging solidarity by guaranteeing all donors that their money is used in the most efficient and transparent way

“RTL helps children” only supports organisations that work, in Croatia, for the benefit of children (under 18):

Providing help to sick, disabled and children in need
Promoting the development of a safe, constructive and creative environment for children

We work with project agencies in following ways:

Selecting projects, among all applicants, according to predefined criteria such as: the benefits of the project for the targeted group, technical and organizational capacity to develop the project and the estimated sustainability of the organization. The Selection Committee decides on the projects to be supported by the Association
Monitoring the allocation of funds and guaranteeing transparency in the use of funds
Reporting on all achievements to its donors, through the media

We have developed a fundraising platform to raise money (donations) from private and corporate donors in following ways:

Using the strength of the media platform offered by the founding member
Developing attractive projects and campaigns with our corporate partners and sponsors

So far the Association has financed 315 projects in the value of more than EUR 3.3 million thus directly helping more than 900 000 children.
