Arno

ARNO means ‘good’. This great word guides us in everything we do and that is why we do good, see good in others and want to be the good in our society.

We know that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. That is why our team is comprised of bright and creative minds with philanthropic hearts, highly experienced in different industries and fields and ready to walk that extra mile. We are passionate about our communities and causes, but we also have the knowledge, networks and flexibility, which are crucial in supporting our passion. We believe that nothing is impossible, you just have to find the right solution.

We at ARNO believe that the actions should speak for themselves. That’s why our initiatives such as the Annual Competition for Green Ideas, Sales of Cooking Classes, Collaboration with Entrepreneurship Teachers, Mentorship for Social Businesses, Incubation of ideas, Workshops for engaging men in home chores and many, many more are living example of this. These projects and social interventions highlight our commitment, readiness, and ability to innovate to respond to social problems.

We focus our work

in 4 Programme Areas,

the 4 pillars for brighter future.

For you, for us, for everyone.

Youth
We do good

by supporting, engaging and empowering young people through our

Youth Programme

because we know that the future is in their hands! We recognize their passion, creativity and capacity to bring the necessary changes in the world we live in. By working with them we encourage them to work together to drive social innovation and change and participate fully in the development of their communities. And it is by aligning with other processes and stakeholders that we ensure cooperation at all levels in support of the youth.

See what we do

We do good

by respecting the balance between nature and the needs of our society with our programme for

Sustainable Development

because we know that the economic development should be compatible with environmental sustainability and social justice. The world is constantly changing and it is our goal to make a balance between the exploitation of resources, the institutional changes and the direction of investments so we can meet the needs of our communities today, as well as in the future.

See what we do

Sustainable Development
We do good

by creating pathways to actions that lead to a life filled with love and appreciation, thanks to our

Philanthropy Programme

Philanthropy means donating experience, financial resources and skills in order to create a better tomorrow. Philanthropy is important because it provides opportunities. For this reason, philanthropy is a very important part of a democratic society. It is a significant force that improves the communities we live in, encouraging all of us to engage in conversations about philanthropy so that we can all be the role models of philanthropic behavior.
