The declared result of the fundraiser is in


The declared amount at the end of the 32nd Grand Finale day was PLN 175,426,813. Today, the GOCC Foundation has achieved the expected result in the fundraiser's account. However, it is not over yet. The GOCC Foundation continues to tally the funds. The final result will be revealed on 27 March.

The 32nd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity was held as planned on 28 January in Poland and all around the world - 100 out of 1,685 Collection Centres registered to "play" (fundraise) with us, were located abroad! There were as many as 120,000 volunteers who hit the streets on the day of the Grand Finale, wearing their Volunteer IDs and holding the colourful Collection Boxes in their hands. The 32nd Grand Finale of the GOCC was dedicated to raising funds to purchase equipment for diagnosing, monitoring, and rehabilitating pulmonary diseases in both children and adults.



What makes up the total amount announced at the end of the Grand Finale day? The total amount of online contributions and donations pledged by the GOCC's partners. Even though the Grand Finale is called a one-day fundraiser, some ways of supporting its mission remain active until the end of February (it is still possible to donate online). It also takes time for all the Collection Centres to tally up their collections. The declared result and the final result of each annual fundraiser tend to differ. 



Once the Foundation reaches the declared amount of the Grand Finale fundraiser in its bank account, the online counter on the main website stops. It will be updated as soon as the charity announces the final result on 27 March!

Last year's 31st Grand Finale ended with a declared result of PLN 154,606,764, but the final result revealed on 31 March amounted to PLN 243,259,387.25. This year's declared amount is 20 million PLN higher than last year's. What will be the final outcome of the 32nd Grand Finale? The GOCC Foundation will announce the final result during a press conference set for 27 March.
