Do you have an idea for a robotics workshop in the municipal library or a rain garden by the school, but no money to start? Re_Action is a grant of PLN 5,000 to 10,000 for local projects within the Zone's area. No own contribution, and free help with the application.

How Re_Action works

Henryk Grohman, the Zone's patron, was a manufacturer and a patron of the arts. We run Re_Action in the same spirit: we support those who change their neighbourhood.

Between 2018 and 2023 we funded more than a hundred cultural, sporting and educational projects in the region, and in 2023 we gathered that support into one programme with its own rules and an open call. The programme is run for us by Centrum OPUS, a Łódź organisation that has handled micro-grants for non-governmental organisations for more than 20 years: the Zone funds the pot, OPUS takes the applications, advises and settles them.

A non-governmental organisation from the Zone's area or a group of at least three residents with a patron organisation can apply. The programme supports eight areas: science and education, culture and history, sport and mental health, ecology, social assistance and seniors, safety, local partnerships and international projects. In the 2026 edition the pool is PLN 400,000 across two calls, and in the first call we funded 31 projects instead of the 20 planned.
