What will my donation do?
Principles of distribution of donations
We choose our partners carefully. We prefer smaller organizations that cannot contribute much to fundraising themselves due to lack of resources. The partners’ activities could be aimed at solving problems across Estonia and with the greatest possible impact in their field of activity.
We decide the size of the support before each payment according to the needs of the organization and our ability.
After the grant is paid out, we expect feedback from the beneficiary about the use of the money, in order to give the most accurate overview possible to our good donors.
Doctor Clowns need training to maintain professional skills, knowledge and positivity when interacting with tiny patients. We helped pay for training costs and doctoral scholarships and other necessary expenses.

The grant went to thank the active advisers. There were currently 32 active volunteer advisors. In 2021, the number of new correspondence increased by approx. 10%. These were mostly serious cases. Solvers are the link to whom counseling centers and hospitals refer their patients for support to alleviate the worsening of problems while on the waiting list. Counselors offering psychological counseling need appropriate preparation and guidance.
- Minu Unistuste Päev
To make the time of sick children pass faster, the Dream Day elves brought surprises to the children in the hospitals. All these children are reached thanks to the wonderful doctors who also deserve recognition. Eeva Savolainen from Võlumaa Children’s Theater reads great stories to children and makes crafts – it is recorded in videos so that children can watch and listen to them again and again. And not even the month of Christmas can pass without a day of dreams. With this support, we helped Ann’s dreams come true. https://minuunistustepaev.ee/unis…/anni-unistuste-paev/…
- Eesti Vaegkuuljate Liit
Thanks to the hearing bus, the Estonian Hearing Impaired Association can reach every place in Estonia in order to improve people’s hearing health. Additional support is very much needed to reach smaller places and to visit day care centers and nursing homes, where people cannot see a doctor themselves.
- Naiste Tugi- ja Teabekeskus MTÜ
With the grant, the center will continue to pay for women’s legal aid (offering legal advice to survivors and representing them in court if necessary). On average, the total cost of lawyers in one month is 2,813 euros, and counseling is offered for about 45-70 hours per month. The Aitan Eestit grant covers 80% of the monthly costs for the next 6 months, in the amount of 13,502.- euros.
- Do Good MTÜ
Information about those in need of help reaches Do Good through employees of social units, child protection and the disabled people’s house. More and more, the need for essentials is heard through the wishes for a Christmas gift, for example, a child needs a warm jacket and winter boots, or a mother says that the biggest wish is to eat well. The NGO decided that they would look for real shoes for the children and the desired shoes – they would provide the clothes separately. They also set families’ Christmas tables by using a food courier or putting a grocery store gift card in the families’ gift bag.
- Laste ja Noorte Kriisiprogramm MTÜ
With the help of the grant, the NGO will be able to pilot the Tasasaalukamam parent group work model in Estonia in the following years, which is intended for mothers and fathers who have experienced neglect or abuse by the people who care for them in their childhood. In order to carry out the necessary trainings, the NGO received financial assistance within the framework of the Ministry of Social Affairs’ strategic partnership project, but 20% of the project’s own financing, i.e. 4000 EUR, was missing, with which we supported them.
- Elumuutvad abistajad MTÜ helps those who face difficulties in life that they cannot overcome by themselves or with the help of friends and acquaintances. Be it everyday essential expenses or help with legal advice.
Together with our good partners, we helped Estonia with donations in a very different way:

- Doktor Kloun MTÜ
Unfortunately, Doctor Clowns could not go to hospitals to cheer up little patients due to corona restrictions. Due to the circumstances, a way was found to raise the mood of the children, when contacts and visits were prohibited. Namely, the Dr. Klounis used to wave at children under the windows of the Tallinn Children’s Hospital and otherwise fool around. This approach was very well received by the hospital and the departments were informed by the hospital’s communication manager, again so that the children could reach the windows. These meetings under the windows of the children’s hospital have been very moving, both for the children, their parents, the medical staff and Dr. Klouns themselves.
In Tartu, we looked for an alternative and found a way to send short video clips of Dr. Clowns to children, which can be viewed only by using a QR code, we distributed information and posters to reach it through the nurses of the departments.
Doctor Clowns were still in full swing “despite” the corona. The income collected with the support of donors was used to support the activities of Dr. Clowns.
- Naeratuse Eest SA
The charity fund Naeratus Eest SA directed the donation directly to the dental care of those in need.

- Do Good MTÜ
The NGO primarily used the support to purchase high-quality sleeping places and household appliances for families. Do Good has seen many families where the mother of the family sleeps in a cramped apartment on a worn out sofa or the children do not have proper beds and mattresses. There are also many families that lack proper household appliances, be it a basic washing machine or a proper refrigerator and vacuum cleaner. Large families and single parents are helped a lot by proper household appliances, facilitating their daily life to a significant extent. There is also often a lack of outdoor clothes for older children. With the help of the grant, the NGO reached a large number of people in need of help with the mentioned disadvantages.
