The purpose of these visits is to engage directly with organizations and institutions operating in Foundation’s priority areas – gain insight into their needs and challenges, as well as acknowledge achievements together with the communities involved.

Meetings were held with Donatas Nagumanovas from Caritas Alternative Youth Center Caritas Alternative Youth Center, psychologists working in the fields of eating disorder treatment and suicide prevention, and representatives of the Lithuanian Red Cross to discuss civil preparedness. Time was also dedicated to education-focused partners, including Kaunas University of Technology and socio-emotional learning program Think Equal. Meetings also took place with socially responsible business leaders to discuss the evolving role of philanthropy in Lithuanian society. The Lithuanian Ambassador to Ukraine Inga Tolockiene paid a visit to share updates on the current situation in Ukraine.

The family participated in several events to network and share insights at panel discussions on family values, philanthropy and the role of AI in children’s education, including the ASSIST program reception, the Philanthropic Foundations Breakfast, the Youth Can annual reception, and the Uncommon LT 5-year anniversary. 

These visits reaffirm the importance of direct engagement in understanding social realities. They provide context for future decisions, strengthen partnerships, and help ensure that the Foundation’s support remains responsive to evolving Lithuania’s needs.
