About
TOP CHARITY is the largest and most prestigious philanthropic initiative in Europe, founded by Omenaa Mensah and Rafał Brzoska. Its mission is to bring together leaders from the worlds of business, art, and media around a shared commitment to responsible and effective social impact.
Launched in 2022, the initiative quickly established itself as one of the most significant philanthropic platforms in Europe. Open and apolitical in nature, TOP CHARITY is built on the principles of transparency, cross-sector collaboration, and long-term societal change.
