What is the Donio platform?
Donio is a platform for anyone who wants to change their or someone else's life story: to start a fundraiser for a community garden, for expenses related to expensive medical treatments, or for any business idea by asking the public for help and support the story through Donio.
They give us 100% of the money raised. How is this possible? Their operations are paid for by the voluntary contributions of our donors, so Donio takes no commissions or fees. In addition, they cover the fees associated with bank transactions.
Charity collections
Donio is happy to help anyone who would like to set up a charity collection. Whether it's for a sick friend, to support a non-profit organization, or even to save a cultural project.

Generations of medical students have passed, are passing, and will pass through the Anatomical Institute of the Faculty of Medicine. In the course of their studies, they learn about the structure and arrangement of the organ systems of the human body, which would not be possible without the noble decision of voluntary donors who agree to have their bodies used after death to teach future doctors. Anatomical knowledge of the structure of the human body is essential for every physician. Medical students acquire most of this necessary knowledge through the practical teaching of anatomy on embalmed human specimens. Donors give their consent in the form of a donor agreement with the Anatomical Institute.
Since 2018, the Anatomical Institute of the FM MU has been organizing a commemorative event to thank the body donors. The first two editions of the Pieta took place in the Chapter Hall of the Augustinian Abbey in Old Brno. In 2020, we paid tribute to the donors due to the coronavirus pandemic with a virtual concert and laying of bouquets in the courtyard of the Anatomical Institute. In 2021, the memorial event was held in the hall of the Brothers of Mercy Convent of the Hospitaller Order of St. John of God. In 2022, the commemoration was again held at the Augustinian Abbey. After the construction of a memorial to the donors of the bodies at the Central Cemetery in Brno, part of the commemorative event associated with the laying of wreaths and lighting of candles will take place there.
