Abstract
In 1928, the National Culture Fund was established in Poland. It was a public institution, established at the instigation of the respected educational and scientific activist Stanisław Michalski, and supported by Józef Piłsudski and the President of the Republic of Poland, Ignacy Mościcki.
The article presents specific portraits: the analyses of foreign institutions, supporting scientific and cultural creativity, which were published in the yearbook “Nauka Polska”. The article shows the similarities and differences between the Polish Fund and the foreign institutions in terms of organisation and practice.
