- concern for ecology,
- supporting the development of local communities,

Scholarship program
Since 2018, the Santander Foundation has been running a scholarship program to support children and young people with special talents. The most gifted students in grades 7 and 8 of primary schools and high schools receive an annual scholarship in the amount of PLN 5,000.
This scholarship is a reward for academic performance and is a motivation for further work and achieving even better results.
Medal-Winning Refrigerator
The Medal-Winning Refrigerator project, of which the Santander Foundation is a partner, is a response to the phenomenon of food waste and an attempt to counteract its impact on the climate. Volunteers of the Foundation visit schools throughout Poland and hold workshops on sound food management for children from 7 to 14 years of age.
