The purpose of the Foundation was to collect, systematize, and provide information concerning the history of the Hungarian minority in Romania, with a special focus on the period after 1989. One further aim was to provide an institutional background for Hungarian social scientific research in Cluj, especially in political science and contemporary history. With this end in view, the Foundation regularly organizes roundtable discussions and seminars, and it continuously enlarges its collection of manuscripts, the collection of audio materials (interviews) and documentaries, the collection of periodicals (beginning in 1990), and its library.

The Jan Hus Educational Foundation is an international, non-political, educational and cultural organisation founded to support the cultural opposition, the development of education and freedom in the former Czechoslovakia. The organisation was established in Oxford, the first meeting held on July 8^th, 1980. Until 1989, the Jan Hus Educational Foundation was established abroad and developed in several branches (Great Britain, France, Canada, USA, Belgium, Germany). Its activities focused mainly on creating a network of underground universities, translating and publishing works by significant Western thinkers in samizdat, organising and supporting other independent cultural activities.

The Foundation has been operated under the same name till the present day. In 1990, the seat was moved to Brno and covered the entire geographical area of ​​the former Czechoslovakia with various organisational changes. The transformation of the political and social situation after the Velvet Revolution has slightly modified the focus of the Foundation, but its goal has been and is still very similar - to support educational activities and strengthen civil society.

Jarocin Regional Museum is a local self-government cultural institution functioning under its current name since 1971. Earlier, for 11 years, there was an Ethnographic Museum, located in the historical Small Treasury building, a remainder of the medieval seat of the owners of Jarocin. The Regional Museum inherited both the building and a collection dedicated primarily to the history of the town. The new institution, however, was meant to gather also ethnographic, archaeological, and artistic items from the entire county of Jarocin. In 1973 the Regional Museum received a statute, and thus became a professionalised entity.

In 1990 the Museum moved to its current location, i.e. the renovated city hall at the market square of Jarocin, gaining more space for exhibitions, storage, and studio. In the subsequent years the Museum developed its educational, exhibition, and research activities. In 2014 it opened the Polish Rock Granary, i.e. its second branch – the first one being the Small Treasury Gallery. Until 2005, for over 35 years the Regional Museum was managed by Eugeniusz Czarny. After his retirement, in 2006 Sebastian Pluta was appointed as the head of the institution, who remains in his office to this day. In total, the museum has seven employees.
