The Cooperation Fund Foundation (FFF) is pleased to announce the appointment of a new Management Board: Daniel Prędkopowicz, President of the Management Board, and Anna Świebocka, Member of the Management Board. The new Board members’ experience and commitment, both in European funds, cohesion policy, and social affairs, will strengthen the FFW’s mission and effectiveness in the areas in which the Foundation operates. The Council of the Cooperation Fund Foundation, composed of high-ranking representatives from the Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, decided at its meeting on November 29, 2024, to dismiss the current Management Board, composed of Tomasz Jegier, President, and Arkadiusz Ochocki, Member of the Management Board. Experienced specialists in the areas of non-governmental organizations, public administration, and state policy were appointed in their place.
Daniel Prędkopowicz, a long-time Foundation employee and former Director of the Project Management Office, was elected President of the Management Board, while Anna Świebocka, previously Deputy Director of the Department of Support and Development Programs at the Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy, was elected Member of the Management Board.
“Accepting the position of President of the Management Board of the Cooperation Fund Foundation is a great honor and a great challenge for me,” said Daniel Prędkopowicz. “At the same time, it is an expression of the enormous trust placed in us by Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz and a recognition of our extensive experience in the field in which the Cooperation Fund Foundation has operated for 35 years.” I believe that the Foundation’s team, strengthened by the experience of Anna Świebocka and myself, will implement ambitious projects that will even more effectively support the socio-economic development of our country, strengthen the social economy, and assist local governments and all those who need it. Our goal is for every Foundation activity to produce tangible, long-term results for all the communities we work with.
Daniel Prędkopowicz is a political scientist and management specialist with over 30 years of experience in the third sector and public administration. He has worked as an expert and lecturer at universities, in non-governmental organizations, in government, and in business. Since 2011, he has been associated with FFW, where, as Director of the Project Management Office, he currently oversees the work of a team of over 50 people implementing numerous social projects. He has served on the Masovian Council of Public Benefit Activities and the Masovian Committee for the Development of Social Economy. Since 2024, he has been a member of the Council of the National Institute of Freedom – Center for the Development of Civil Society.
Anna Świebocka, a graduate of the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Warsaw, has been involved in European funds for over 25 years. She began her career in 1998 in the Department of Coordination and Monitoring of Foreign Aid at the Office of the Committee for European Integration. Since 2003, she has held directorial positions in the Department of Implementation of the European Social Fund at the current Ministry of Family and Social Policy, in the Department of Human Resources Development in Enterprises at the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, and since 2018 at the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, where she served as Deputy Director of the Department of Support and Development Programs, the managing authority of the POIR and FENG programs.
The appointment of Daniel Prędkopowicz and Anna Świebocka to the FFW Management Board represents a significant strengthening of this organization, which is key to many areas of state policy. Their experience and passion will be key factors in achieving the Foundation’s statutory goals and implementing innovative solutions in its operations. We believe that their contribution will contribute to the Foundation’s continued dynamic development and more effective support for social initiatives in Poland and abroad.
