How can you
get involved

This project is financed with the support of EEA Grants 2014 – 2021 within the RO-CULTURE Programme

Together we will succeed

Donating 3.5% of your taxable income is a way in which anyone can support our projects focused on revitalizing the national patrimony. To direct these funds towards the MET Foundation takes only a few minutes to fill in the 3.5% Form. The result is however incredibly efficient. These donations are essential to co-finance future projects and our organization’s ongoing operations. We would love for your to come this Summer and visit us in the Bastion and see in person how we work.

Volunteering opportunities

Our work is being carried on in places with magnificent vistas, and lively communities with welcoming people – such are the villages of Transylvania, the Foundation offers volunteering opportunities that provide unique experiences. The volunteers – part of a team – will live in a Transylvanian village, in a beautiful natural habitat, in a place where old traditions have been kept alive. They will work with integrity, experience, and a great reputation within an organization. Often, the transport, accommodation (in the homes of the locals), and meals are covered by the Foundation. In case you think that you may be interested in a project other than those currently ongoing, we are always open to suggestions at contact@mihaieminescutrust.ro. At the many events that are going to be held this Summer at the Bastion, we need your help. Please write us at the above email address to express your interest.
