Raiffeisen Bank's donor forum brought together doctors, professors, artists and activists for nature protection

Zoran Petrović, President of the Executive Board Raiffeisen Bank he said he did Donor forum, organized on the occasion of 25 years of business in Serbia, a way for the bank to thank and help the community in which it operates.

"Our donations are directed to institutions in the fields of health, higher education, art and culture, animal protection, as well as the improvement of sports infrastructure for children. Behind each of these areas is someone's life - a child who will play on a new field for the first time, a student who gets a better education, a doctor whose job we made easier, the fauna with whom we share the environment, people whose art and culture encourage critical thinking," said Zoran Petrović.

This year, Raiffeisen Bank sent donations to the Mother and Child Institute "Vukan Čupić" and the University Children's Clinic in Tiršova.

Vladislav Vukomanović, director of the Institute, says that the device, which was purchased with a donation, helped to take care of newborn children with severely damaged vital functions.

Raiffeisen Bank also sent donations to the Faculty of Economics, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the University of Belgrade.

Zoran Čiča, dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, said that many former ETF students are employed at Raiffeisen Bank.

"The donation really means the improvement of some of the segments for our students and we will certainly use it well to train future candidates for Raiffesien Bank. I heard that you have a really strong IT sector with a lot of our students. Others should also emulate this high level of social responsibility," said Čiča.

Saša Marinković from the Foundation for the Protection of Birds of Prey, said that the Foundation has been cooperating with Raiffeisen Bank for the last two years and that great scientific results have been achieved in monitoring the griffon vulture.

"The star of our cooperation is the griffon vulture Rajka, which is the first vulture that we officially know went to Africa," said Marinković.

This year, Raiffeisen Bank also helped the "Bogdan Bogdanović" Foundation, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Ozon Gallery, as well as many other organizations and individuals.
