The Ptolemaic colonisation in Asia Minor and the Aegean region was a signifi cant tool which served the politics of the dynasty that actively participated in the fi ght for hegemony over the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea basin. In order to specify the role which the settlements founded by the Lagids played in their politics, it is of considerable importance to establish as precise dating of the foundations as possible. It seems legitimate to acknowledge that Ptolemy II possessed a well-thought-out plan, which, apart from the purely strategic aspects of founding new settlements, was also heavily charged with the propaganda issues which were connected with the cult of Arsinoe II.

The object of my last year’s presentation were communication (ethical, integration, political) threats posed by a foundation seen as an extension to a company in its traditional sense. I came to the conclusion that an automatic transfer of social trust capital to the parent company (in certain, specified by me, contexts) causes the foundation to betray its mission. It is the company that becomes the main beneficiary of mutual aid activities. This year, the paper addresses the following three issues. Firstly, I intend to show the symbolic pressure exerted on both consumers and producers, which is made possible by the ‘labeling’ of products of ‘socially sensitive’ companies. There would be no point questioning the fact of shaping social attitudes if it weren’t for an ambiguous position of the co-ordinator of the enterprise, who becomes vested with the rights of a certification authority. Another question under consideration is the transformation of a foundation into a quasi-company. A third-sector organization adds business activity to the goals specified in its by-laws. It results in taking on highly-skilled professionals who have nothing to do with charitable activity of a third sector organization. Finally, there is a danger of a foundation’s approximation to a second-sector organization. A foundation may be financed by a public administration body. This may lead to the division of the final product of a foundation between the beneficiaries and the body which sponsors its operation using a ‘lump sum’ payment. Whichever the problem, the key aspect seems societal control over mutual aid activities. Its lack results in an abuse of power and the diminished trust of the manipulated society in effective cooperation.

The article describes relations and forms of cooperation between public administration bodies, both government and local government administration, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) be­longing to the so-called “Third sector”. Associations and foundations are the most popular forms of NGOs. The basis for their functioning are the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which guar­antees freedom of association and foundation, and relevant acts, i.e. Law of Foundations and Law of Associations. There is no single, closed definition of the terms: public administration and ad­ministrative body. In literature they are defined by an indication of their characteristic features. We distinguish two forms of cooperation between the third sector and public administration: financial and non-financial. Financial support forms include targeted donations to NGO’s public tasks, finan­cial guarantees, loans and sureties given to perform public service tasks. The range of non-financial forms of cooperation includes among others consultations with non-governmental organizations on formulating legal acts related to their statutory activities, the establishment of joint advisory boards, the creation of units supporting the activities of third sector organizations, or the transfer of real estate to be used by non-governmental organizations.

Purpose: This article seeks to assess the scale of using the funds from Poland’s 1% of personal income tax scheme in the funding of public benefit activity conducted by public benefit organizations in the area of promotion of sports and physical culture. Moreover, it attempts to establish the determinants of revenues from this source earned by individual organizations. Design/Methodology/Approach: The article presents the results of own research based on a sample of 100 random public benefit organizations. Research conclusions are formulated based on the literature and legislation review, data from the financial statements and technical reports of selected organizations, and statistical methods selected to verify the formulated hypotheses. Findings: The revenues earned by the organizations from the 1% scheme do not depend on conventional factors, such as organization coverage, the number of beneficiaries, and the persons involved in the activity of the organization or duration of public benefit activity. Research limitations/Implications: The model developed for research purposes considers no immeasurable factors that may affect the amount of earned revenues, such as recognizability of organization in the society or taxpayer loyalty. Originality/Value: Our research pioneers the issue of determinants of funds acquired by the organizations from the 1% scheme. Research conclusions can be regarded as a voice in the discussion on the sources of funding the operation of foundations and associations.

The aim of this article is to identify significant determinants of emancipation of persons with visual impairment. Ridding oneself of restrictions, stereotypes, and even violence affecting various spheres of functioning of a blind adult is crucial to the mdevelopment and consolidation of his/her subjectivity. It is assumed that conscious autonomy of visually impaired people, enabling and conditioning performance of the tasks related to adulthood, requires independence in orientation and mobility, independence in carrying out activities of daily living, easy access to information and opportunities to communicate, undertaking satisfying professional activities as well as rewarding family, social and cultural activities. Developing subjectivity and autonomy in adulthood requires support from the family, as well as well-planned and consistently implemented educational and rehabilitation activities. The process of expanding autonomy of an individual can take place in relationship to the emancipation process of the group. One example is the activities of foundations run by visually impaired persons, whose main purpose is promoting dignified living of the blind.

The paper presents an analysis of roles and visions of foundations in four Central and Eastern European countries: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary and Poland. It offers a comparative account of the relevant legislation and the paths taken by these four foundation sectors in the aftermath of the 1989–91 democratic re´gime changes. They are depicted against a background characterized, among other things, by a partial demise of the state and rapid development of non-profit organizations. Using the methodology and conceptualizations of the research project Roles and visions of foundations in Europe, the authors describe the role profiles of foundations in these countries. They distinguish between role expectations of foundation stakeholders and the roles foundations are actually able to perform, given existing constraints such as legal regulations and limited own resources. The roles are further analyzed as parts of broader social visions in which foundation representatives and other stakeholders in the four CEE countries prefer to locate them. The dominance of certain roles and visions is explained with reference to specific features of post-communist societies

The case study deals with the professional and social rise of the Czech architect Alois Turek among the new elite of the 19th century. With the help of the prosopographic method of collective biography of elites, the architect’s changing social and professional profile is monitored in connection with increasing his economic and symbolic (social and cultural) capital and improving his position in the social field. Within his career, his social background, course of education, construction practice and public work are described. The next part of the text deals with Turek’s patronage legacy in the context of the development of the foundation movement in the conditions of the emerging national-civil society of the 19th century.

The article presents issues related to foundations, as a special kind of organizations, classified as so-called third sector (non-government organizations). Due to the diversity of foundation resources, it is difficult to identify one type of charity organization. It can be socially or economically useful, and various funds can carry out activities in the fields of education, science, tourism, sport, ecology, protection of monuments, culture and art. To illustrate the activities of this kind of organization, there has been chosen an example of the foundation founded in 2008 by the Polish Scouting Association – Krakow Banner Command, called the Education, Leisure and Recreation Foundation, which runs many activities in the field of education, upbringing, scouting staff education, tourism, regional promotion, culture, ecology.

Artykuł porusza kwestie związane z działalnością fundacji jako organizacji zaliczanych do tzw. trzeciego sektora, czyli organizacji pozarządowych. Ze względu na różnorodność typów fundacji trudno jest wskazać jeden rodzaj organizacji zajmujących się działalnością charytatywną. Szczególne znaczenie ma określenie celu, który może być społecznie lub gospodarczo użyteczny, zaś różnorodne fundacje mogą prowadzić działalność w obszarze edukacji, nauki, turystyki, sportu, ekologii, ochrony zabytków, kultury i sztuki. Dla zobrazowania działalności wymienionych podmiotów posłużył przykład fundacji założonej w 2008 roku przez Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego – Komendę Chorągwi Krakowskiej, tj. Fundacji Kształcenia, Wypoczynku i Rekreacji, która zajmuje się zróżnicowaną działalnością z obszaru oświaty, wychowania, edukacji kadry harcerskiej, turystyki, promocji regionu, kultury, ekologii.

Zakony mendykanckie, dominikanie i franciszkanie odegrali znaczącą rolę religijną, gospodarczą i kulturową na przestrzeni minionych wieków w Warce na Mazowszu. Fundacja klasztoru dominikanów historycznie związana była z osobą księcia Siemowita I. Klasztor dominikanów w Warce, fundowany w połowie XIII stulecia, obok klasztorów pw. św. Dominika w Płocku i św. Mikołaja w Sochaczewie należących do kontraty mazowieckiej, zaliczany jest do najstarszych fundacji tego zakonu na ziemiach polskich. W połowie XVII w. do Warki zostali sprowadzeni franciszkanie. Fundatorką klasztoru była  Katarzyna z Boglewic Trzebińska.  Swoją obecnością franciszkanie przyczynili się do ożywienia religijnego miasta.

The mendican Orders, Dominicans and Franciscans, played a significant religious, economic, and cultural role over the past centuries at Warka in Mazovia. The foundation of the Dominican monastery was historically linked to the person of Duke Siemowit I. The Warka Dominican monastery, founded in the middle of the 13th century, next to the monasteries of St Dominic in Płock and of St Nicholas at Sochaczew belonging to the Mazovian contrat, is considered one of the oldest foundations of this order in Poland. In the mid-17th century, the Franciscans were brought to Warka. The foundress of the monastery was Katarzyna of Boglewice Trzebińska. With their presence, the Franciscans contributed to the religious revival of the town.

Społeczną gospodarkę rynkową pojmuje się najczęściej jako odpowiednik gospodarki socjalistycznej lub redystrybucyjnej polityki socjalnej. Bywa także błędnie definiowana jako synonim interwencjonizmu państwowego. Tymczasem koncepcja społecznej gospodarki rynkowej to koncepcja liberalna, mająca swoje źródło w przedwojennej teorii ordoliberalnej. Społeczna gospodarka rynkowa to model równowagi, w którym godzi się współistnienie interesów ekonomicznych i społecznych (efektywność gospodarcza versus sprawiedliwość społeczna). W pierwszej części tekstu przedstawiono istotę społecznej gospodarki rynkowej, m. in. w kontekście współczesnego kryzysu globalnego. W kolejnych częściach prezentowane są przejawy i przykłady wdrażania tej koncepcji w wymiarze lokalnym. Autor ilustruje te przejawy na przykładzie funkcjonowania fundacji „Barka”, wskazując zarazem na możliwe obszary działań samorządu terytorialnego na rzecz ożywienia idei społecznej gospodarki rynkowej zawartej w Konstytucji RP

The social market economy is generally conceived as a counterpart to the socialist economy or redistributive social policy. It is sometimes also erroneously defined as a synonym for state intervention. Meanwhile, the concept of the social market economy is a liberal concept which has its source in the pre-war ordoliberal theory. The social market economy is a model of balance, which reconciles the coexistence of economic and social interests (economic efficiency versus social justice). The first part presents the essence of the social market economy, among others, in the context of contemporary global crisis. The following sections present symptoms and examples of implementation of this concept at the local level. The author illustrates these symptoms on the example of the operations undertaken by "Barka" foundation, indicating possible areas of action of local government to revive the idea of the social market economy expressed in the Polish Constitution.

W Estonii obserwuje się zauważalny rozwój społeczeństwa obywatelskiego, do czego przyczyniło się również jej przyjęcie do UE. Po uzyskaniu przez Republikę Estońską niezawisłości w 1991 r. organizacje społeczne były słabe, a brak zaufania do nich to m. in. następstwo okresu sowieckiego i rozczarowania rezultatami transformacji. W kolejnych latach stowarzyszenia ugruntowały swoją pozycję, bowiem pojawiali się profesjonalni aktywiści z doświadczeniem organizacyjnym. Obecnie aktywność społeczna staje się coraz bardziej popularna, powstają nowe organizacje, zwiększa się również liczba ich członków oraz poszerza zakres działalności. Dużym problemem w Estonii był także niski stopień zaufania społecznego do instytucji państwowych i NGO, jednak te postawy ulegają zmianom. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza okoliczności powstania i. aktywności społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w Republice Estonii.

There is a noticeable development of civil society in Estonia, which has also contributed to its accession to the EU. After the Republic of Estonia gained independence in 1991, social organizations were weak, and the lack of trust in them was, among other things, a consequence of the Soviet period and disappointment with the results of transformation. In the following years, the associations consolidated their position as professional activists with organizational experience appeared. Currently, social activity is becoming more and more popular, new organizations are being created, the number of their members is also increasing and the scope of their activities is expanding. A big problem in Estonia was also the low level of public trust in state institutions and NGOs, but these attitudes are changing. The aim of this article is to analyze the circumstances of creation of the civil society and its activity in the Republic of Estonia.

Szkoły Nowodworskie, których kontynuatorką jest dzisiejsze I LO im. B. Nowodworskiego, mają kilkusetletnią historię. Idea założenia szkół narodziła się w gronie profesorów Akademii Krakowskiej w 1586 roku, ale do właściwego otwarcia placówki doszło 2 lata później, dzięki inicjatywie profesora Stanisława Pika Zawadzkiego. W pierwszych dziesięcioleciach istnienia instytucja musiała zmierzyć się z licznymi trudnościami, takimi jak epidemie czy też naciski konserwatywnych profesorów, chcących zamknąć szkoły. W tych trudnych początkach szczególnie pomógł placówce biskup krakowski Piotr Tylicki. Jako benefaktor przeznaczył szkołom 10 tys. zł. Kolejnym ważnym dobrodziejem był kawaler maltański Bartłomiej Nowodworski, który w 3 fundacjach w latach 1612, 1617 i 1619 ofiarował w sumie 15 tys. zł. Darowizna ta pomogła instytucji przetrwać. Szkoły Nowodworskie miały w dalszych dziesięcioleciach wielu benefaktorów. Najważniejszym z nich był Gabriel Prewancjusz Władysławski, który darował 50 tys. zł. Dzięki temu, przy wydatnej pomocy króla Władysława IV Wazy, mógł powstać nowy budynek szkół zbudowany w 1643 roku. Dynamika fundacji w następnych dziesięcioleciach znacznie jednak spadła, co było efektem postępującego zubożenia kraju. Ostatnim odnotowanym darczyńcą był w 1745 roku sekretarz królewski Tomasz Szreniawski.

Nowodworski Schools, whose current institutionalized continuator is Bartłomiej Nowodworski High School, have a legacy of a long history. The idea to found private schools was initially brought forward by the authorities and professors of the Cracovian University in 1586. The project was finally launched in 1588 mainly due to energetic steps taken by the subsequent chancellor of the Cracovian University doctor of medicine – Stanisław Pik Zawadzki. Over the first decades of its existence the schools faced numerous hardship. The institution was underfunded and both professors and students were exposed to epidemics so frequent in those times, such as for instance the plague in September 1588. Some conservative professors of the University also called for closing the academic colonies. Despite all the predicaments, the institution managed to survive. The most important benefactor for private schools in those difficult years was a Cracovian bishop Piotr Tylicki (in office: 1607–1616), who with the consent of the local chapter, donated PLN 10 000 to fund a separate professor department where the professors were obliged to give a one hour daily lecture in The Upper College as well as 2 hour classes in pronunciation and stylistic in private schools. The situation, however, did not improved significantly. In those times of crisis of private schooling there appeared the foundations of the Knight of the Maltese Order – Barłomiej Nowodworski. Nowodworski was a benefactor for numerous institutions, however, his most famous charity was his foundations for Nowodworski Schools. He donated PLN 8000 in 1612, 1617 and PLN 7000 in 1619 making it possible for those private schools to survive the difficult times. Nowodworski Schools had many benefactors, however, besides the foundation of B. Nowodworski the most prominent benefactors were Gabriel Prewancjusz Władysławski. He donated PLN 50 000. Thanks to his efforts and with the contribution from the King new premises for the private schools were built in 1643.

The Temple of Hatshepsut was in use, and frequently modified, between the 16th century BC and the 12th century AD. From the beginning of the archaeological work at the site in the 19th century, one of the primary research goals has been to understand the modifications made to the building since its initial construction. The present paper provides an overview of the different arguments and ideas proposed for the original configuration of the Upper Courtyard, confronted with evidence from recent excavations between 2014 and 2016 in different parts of the court. In 2000, architect Andrzej Kwaśnica argued for an unprecedented arrangement of the architectural elements of the Upper Courtyard. However, recent archaeological discoveries suggest that the issue should be revisited. The examination of the foundations of the Ptolemaic Portico columns has shown that the six bases may have been in situ since the reign of Hatshepsut.

Nowelizacja ustawy o rachunkowości z dnia 15 grudnia 2016 r. wprowadziła nowe ujednolicone wzory sprawozdań finansowych dla organizacji pożytku publicznego, które mają zastosowanie dla sprawozdań sporządzanych za okresy rozpoczynające się po 1 stycznia 2017 r. Artykuł w syntetyczny sposób przedstawia praktyczne aspekty wprowadzenia nowych regulacji. W opinii autora nowy wzór sprawozdania lepiej wpisuje się w specyfikę działalności organizacji trzeciego sektora, eliminując jednocześnie problemy związane z koniecznością dostosowywania dotychczasowych wzorów sprawozdań do wymogów ujawniania przychodów i kosztów działalności nieodpłatnej, odpłatnej i gospodarczej. Zaprezentowane zostały także wyniki badań przeprowadzonych na próbie organizacji prowadzących działalność w województwie małopolskim, ukazujące skalę problemu właściwego doboru wzorów sprawozdań finansowych.

The amendment to the accounting law of 15 December 2016 implemented new, unified formats of financial statements for public benefit organisations. Those formats will be applied in reports prepared after the 1st of January 2017. The article presents practical aspects of the new regulations’ implementation in a synthetical manner. From the author’s viewpoint, the new report format matches more the character of activities carried out in the third sector. At the same time, it eliminates problems connected with the need to adjust the format of past reports to the requirements of disclosing revenues and costs of unchargeable, chargeable and economic activities. The results of research carried out on organisations operating in Małopolska are also presented. The research shows the scale of the problem of correctly choosing the format for financial reporting.

The French museum world is dominated by large public institution. The cradle of public museology, France boasts a long-standing tradition of central management in this domain, whose continuation can be found in the current legislative solutions (Act of 4 January 2002) organizing the system of museum activity, their approval, and financing modes. It is all based on the musée de France status that can be granted to institutions owned either by the state or to any other legal entity under public law or legal entity under private law engaged in a non-profit activity. The latter, belonging to associations and foundations, or run by them, in order to win the state’s recognition and support, have to comply with specific requirements defined in particular with respect to conservation and scientific elaboration of the collections, as well as to making them available for public viewing. What dominates among ‘private’ museums are institutions of the public benefit organization status, whose model was shaped in the 19th century, e.g. the Paris Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs or Cinémathèque Française, to a substantial degree financed with public resources. Some of them, e.g. ecomuseums and industrial museums in Mulhouse, are almost self-sufficient financially. Another form of a ‘private’ museum is a foundation set up by a company/ concern or artists and patrons. The latter group includes institutions that are owned by e.g. Institut de France in Paris, Musée Calvet in Avignon, or Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, as well as first of all those involved in mounting big Paris exhibitions, foundations – museums of modern art: Fondation Cartier, Fondation Louis Vuitton, or Collection Pinault which is currently being established. Thanks to their spectacular architectural settings, aggressive publicity policy, and astounding turn-out successes, these new private museums are substantially transforming the artistic stage in France.
