The Foundation was established under the Will of the late Mr Henryk Kitaszewski, who passed away on 24 March 2015.  

The Foundation’s mission is to “support students of Polish descent to apply and further their tertiary studies in projects or activities which will support the development of Polish community organisations in Australia”. 

In particular, the Foundation seeks to direct funds to the development and education of young Poles through capacity building for Polish community organisations.
