Why support us

We have been striving to bring about improvements in education for 20 years. Our priorities are quality and professionalism. We are efficient, transparent, and cost-effective. We continuously identify the needs of the target groups and the environment. We monitor and assess the impact of our services, trying to take the findings into account in our future work. We appreciate collaboration and work actively on developing such opportunities across the education sector. We also work on interdisciplinary and intersectoral projects.

Theory of change

We deal not only with specific situations but also their causes. This is why our activities aim to provide support to individual clients as well as to have a long-term positive impact on the whole society.

Our detailed theory of change describes how we respond to the current situation in the education of children with other mother tongues and what we want to do to bring about positive change for the whole society. The scheme shows specific activities and outcomes that we are implementing or planning to implement in order to further the change we are striving for. It also indicates how we monitor the impact of our activities. It is a complex representation of the current situation in the education of children with other mother tongues and the ways in which we are trying to change it. The scheme shows our approach to work, our methodologies, and how we think about things. In a simplified form, it explains what is beyond our efforts, what our values and visions are, and what the purpose of our projects and initiatives is.

Responsible management of the organization and its finances

We prepare strategic plans for the entire organization and its individual teams. We regularly review and adjust our structure, internal processes, and procedures. Efficient and transparent financial management is essential to us. We regularly pass audits focused on the organization’s financial management and internal processes, as well as on project implementation and financial reporting.

As part of a project funded by the Česká spořitelna Foundation, META underwent an organizational assessment in the fall of 2024, carried out by Gov Lab, s. r. o., which revealed the following:

  • META, o. p. s., is an organization with robust strategic management, a high-quality and carefully built internal culture, and an organizational structure that is functional and continuously being adapted to new needs.
  • The organization has a powerful vision and shared identity.
  • The organization promotes an open culture with a high degree of psychological safety, which allows for critical internal discussions.
  • The organization has a great ability to bring innovation to its services and to come up with new solutions for the projects it works on.
  • Unstable funding and its continuity represent a challenge for META. The organization is dependent on ad hoc project funding. It seeks to diversify its portfolio of resources, but the possibilities are limited.
