Karl Lindqvist, Founder Polstjärna FoundationMy name is Karl Lindqvist and in 2011 I founded the Polstjärna Foundation. The aim is to prevent social exclusion among young people in Sweden. The method is simple: find enthusiasts (eldsjälar) who work for / with young people in the risk zone and have the ability to reach out. We then review them and learn about their needs. Once the screening is over, we start crowd-funding on our website www.polstjarna.se. When the activity they want funding for is completed, all donors receive feedback with the experiences for the participants and a report on how the collected funds have been used. I have worked nearly eleven years in the banking sector and can probably help with a thing or two about banking matters and savings in particular. I am generally curious and an idea generator.
