About This Cause
"Volim Križevce" Foundation for Local Development and Solidarity " (in Croatian: Zaklada za lokalni razvoj i solidarnost Volim Križevce) came from the Civic Initiative "I love Križevci" which in early 2017 brought together citizens of Križevci, Croatia, and the surrounding area with a desire to jointly find solutions for the betterment and development of the city. The Facebook page of the initiative was then supported by more than a thousand Križevci men and women in the first 24 hours since its launch. The civic initiative was finally formalized in 2019 with the establishment of the Foundation, with the purpose of developing philanthropy and other forms of social support to promote solidarity and human rights, as well as to support local development and promote social entrepreneurship.
