The size of the contribution varies among companies depending on their size and available resources. Many of these SMEs are active in supporting children, often in response to impoverished families who request specific assistance. Some enterprises help finance expensive medical treatment that health insurance will not cover, such as organ transplants. Other SMEs contribute to nonprofit organizations that work with children. For example, the SOS Foundation finances school meals and holiday camps for poor children, while other companies support school athletics.
Some companies make in-kind contributions.
Ekaplast, a manufacturer of bathroom equipment, provides its products to schools under renovation. Autopart, a battery manufacturer, donates its products to nonprofit organizations, local authorities and church organizations. Strawa, a food processing company, provides food for the homeless. What is more important than the amount of these contributions is the fact that they signal a change in the philosophy of small companies. They are focusing not only on their profits, but also on potential customers and the social well-being of their larger communities.
