Our mission for over 20 years has been to be a platform that shapes and connects generations of leaders who, with their actions, passion, and values, build a better tomorrow.
At the heart of our activities are unique, young talents – the future leaders of tomorrow. We believe that they will shape the Polish economy, so we support them in their professional career development, offering opportunities to gain experience in the best companies in the market. We also support their long-term leadership skills development and building a strong, broad network.
The Foundation was established by Ewa Paga, the wife of Lesław Paga, who, together with their daughter Paulina, actively participates in fulfilling the Foundation’s mission.
Lesław Andrzej Paga (1954 – 2003) was a specialist in macroeconomics, ownership transformations, and the capital market. He co-created laws and other legal acts related to securities trading. He specialized in enterprise management, restructuring, and strategy. He led projects related to strategic company assessments, value-based management, investor relations, and investigations of economic abuses.
He was one of the few Polish managers to assume a regional managerial role in an international company.
TDJ Foundation focuses on supporting children, youth, and families in developing competencies and discovering passions, enabling them to consciously and responsibly build their future while serving others. It creates and implements educational and developmental projects for young people, operates the Educare Institute which supports educational staff, and is also the founder of the Bemke Campus – a unique place for education and development emerging in southern Poland.
Annually, in its projects, it supports up to 400 children and young people, 1,400 teachers, 300 students in schools, and 90 children in kindergartens.
We believe in the strategic cooperation of leaders in key areas of the Polish economy – we are the hub for real change.
