Central Group donates CZK 1 Million to Children’s Health Foundation
Central Group, the largest Czech residential developer, has once again demonstrated its commitment to philanthropy by donating CZK 1 million to the Children’s Health Foundation, supporting the Institute for Mother and Child Care (IMCD) in Podolí, Prague. The donation was presented at a charity gala held at the Municipal House in Prague, where Dušan Kunovský, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Central Group, handed over the check to Zbyněk Straňák, head of the neonatal ward at the Podolsk Maternity Hospital.
Since 2007, Central Group has been the main sponsor of the foundation, contributing more than CZK 23 million over 18 years. These funds have supported over 220 medical programs, including the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment, as well as advancements in research and medical education. Jana Martínková, Business Director at Central Group, emphasized the company’s long-term commitment, stating that in nearly two decades of cooperation, they have helped finance a wide range of medical initiatives, ensuring better healthcare for mothers and newborns.
Beyond its long-standing support for children’s healthcare, Central Group allocates tens of millions of crowns annually to various charitable causes. One of its largest ongoing initiatives is focused on helping Prague manage the refugee crisis, with assistance programs exceeding CZK 63 million in value. This aid includes the establishment of a relief center offering comprehensive support for refugees, educational assistance programs to help integrate children into the school system, and medical care support to ensure access to essential healthcare services. As part of these efforts, Central Group has provided the public administration with a commercial complex in Vysočany free of charge. This site houses the Regional Assistance Centre for Ukraine, the largest refugee support center in the Czech Republic, as well as a Refugee Aftercare Centre, which operates in collaboration with UNICEF.
Central Group’s commitment to urban development and community welfare extends beyond charity. In areas where the company is building residential projects, it invests hundreds of millions of crowns into public infrastructure and municipal improvements. These contributions include funding for new public schools, including the construction of several kindergartens across major project locations, as well as investment in public transport and technical infrastructure, enhancing connectivity and services in newly developed districts. Additionally, the company has made significant contributions to urban greenery, planting over a quarter of a million trees and shrubs in Prague over the last five years. It continues to invest nearly CZK 20 million annually in public landscaping efforts.
Sustainability remains a key priority for Central Group. By investing in green spaces and community projects, the company actively contributes to the fight against climate change while improving the quality of life in Prague. With a long-standing commitment to philanthropy, urban development, and environmental sustainability, Central Group continues to play a crucial role in shaping Prague’s future, both through real estate investment and extensive social responsibility initiatives.
