Overview
Nadační fond Propolis 33 (NFP) is a Czech endowment fund (nadační fond) that supports charitable and awareness-raising initiatives, with a particular focus on women and women's issues. According to its official website, the fund's main themes include planned parenthood, motherhood and reproduction; midwives, doulas and natural childbirth; children's physical and mental health; feminism and gender; and taboo women's topics. It also supports literary and artistic works, nature and ecology projects, and activities that promote humanity, kindness and respect. The fund provides financial, in-kind and advisory support, especially in legal and economic matters. The name Propolis 33 is explained on the website through the metaphor of propolis, the resinous substance bees use to disinfect and seal their hive. The site quotes Vyšehrad beekeeper Jaroslava Malinová: "Propolis is the internal disinfection of the hive and the sealant with which bees plug the gaps that bother them. Pro-polis, polis is a city. A bee city." The fund connects this imagery to fertility, community, hard work and mutual support, and to the ancient Cretan civilization that venerated women, fertility and art. The website states that the fund has celebrated its 5th birthday, indicating it was established around 2018–2019, though the exact founding year is not given in the evidence. NFP operates primarily in the Czech Republic. Its activities include educating midwives, publishing books, and supporting cultural and ecological projects. The fund presents itself as a grant-giving body that channels small donations into larger collective support, using the beehive as a symbol of community. No parent company, owner or executive leadership is named in the available evidence. The fund is a private, non-profit legal entity under Czech law.
