TOP CHARITY Auction

TOP CHARITY, organized regularly by the Omenaa Foundation, OmenaArt Foundation, and the Palace in Wilanów with the support of Corporate Connections, is the most prestigious charitable event in Poland, bringing together business, art, and culture around the idea of philanthropy. In 2025, the Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw joined the group of organizers.

As much as 30% of the auction proceeds go to the Philanthropic Consortium, which distributes grants to partner foundations in Poland and around the world. The remaining funds support Polish orphanages, the construction of a support center for street children in Ghana, as well as artistic and revitalization initiatives.

The event has been awarded the title of Best Luxury Auction Event by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards.

The institutional partners of TOP CHARITY are the Royal Łazienki Museum in Warsaw and the Museum of King Jan III's Palace at Wilanów.

For the third time, the Top Charity Art exhibition is being held at the Orangery of the Wilanów Palace, from April 25 to June 24, 2025. It features works by artists such as Jeff Koons, Tadeusz Kantor, Amedeo Modigliani, Monika Falkus, and Ibrahim Mahama.

"If you want to understand your emotions, don't battle them. Get to know them like you would a new ally. Listen to what they're trying to tell you. Try to be curious about them and see what lessons they hold. Instead of resisting them, feel them, gently steer them, and let them exist. Use them as your superpower."

– Janina Scarlet
