When the civic association Light of hope When they reached out with a question about the Microsoft Copilot Studio license, we knew we could help them. There was just one thing left to figure out: how to do it so that it wouldn’t cost the organization—which turns every euro into care for sick children—even a cent.
We found the answer in SOFTIP’s 2025 income tax allocation. Svetielko nádeje has held a permanent place on our list of supported organizations for many years. This time, however, we decided to go beyond our usual support and also cover the cost of an annual Copilot Studio license.
„Thanks to our partnership with Microsoft, we have access to advanced technologies. I’m very glad that we’ve managed to find a way to make these technologies available to Svetielko nádeje as well, providing them not only with the tool itself but also with the assurance that they’ll be able to actually use it all year round. We know exactly how important their work is,“ he said Martin Vlčko, CEO of SOFTIP.
For “Svetielko nádeje,” which has been supporting seriously ill children— primarily children with cancer and their families at the Children’s University Hospital and Polyclinic in Banská Bystrica, every hour saved means more time for the families who need it most.
„Fundraising is a long-distance race—it involves a lot of communication and a lot of administrative work, yet our primary goal is to have as much time and energy as possible to devote to the families of children who are fighting for their health. This donation has provided us with a modern tool that will help us streamline our daily work and safely leverage the capabilities of artificial intelligence when working with the organization’s data and information. On behalf of ourselves and the families we help, we thank you,“ she added. Ingrid Polakovičová from "A Glimmer of Hope".
SOFTIP has been collaborating with Svetielko nádeje for a long time—not only through the 2 % tax program, but also through other activities, such as SOFTIP DROP OF BLOOD, or a charity virtual run Let's Run with the Light of Hope. Our current collaboration is not just a one-time gesture, but part of a partnership in which we work together to find ways to help where it makes the most sense.
