Make a donation
When it comes to heritage conservation activities, the Foundation is guided by a guiding thread, and medium and long-term plans are well developed. Because all these projects involve considerable efforts and important resources, MET relies on the contributions of those who want to support the Foundation in its efforts to revitalize rural communities, restore and capitalize on the architectural, historical and cultural heritage. In concrete terms, the way traditional houses on the main street of a historic village look or the ability of the inhabitants to make visitors feel good when the latter spend a few days in a place in Transylvania, depends on all these resources. There are several ways in which MET can be supported in its projects by those interested. Of course, donations are an important source of funding, and the Foundation is grateful to companies and individuals who decide to contribute financially to MET activities; without sufficient funds, the plans run the risk of not being completed.

Presentation of available volunteer internships
Activating in a space with dreamy landscapes and living communities, with welcoming people, such as the villages of Transylvania, the Foundation proposes internships in which volunteers will have a transformational experience. Together with other volunteers, they will live in a Transylvanian village, in a beautiful natural setting, where centuries-old traditions have been well preserved. At the same time, they will work in an integral environment, within a foundation with prestige and experience. Most of the time, transportation, accommodation in traditional houses and the cost of meals are covered by the Foundation’s projects. If you do not find yourself in any program proposed by us, you must know that we are always open to proposals. You can write us a message at: contact@mihaieminescutrust.ro
