Dream to Reality Foundation
Dream to Reality Foundation for Sustainability (D2RF) is set up to provide scholarships and to fund sustainability initiatives related to REAL School Budapest.
D2RF is a Hungarian non-profit foundation with public benefit organisation status. This means that companies will enjoy tax benefits for donations. The pre-tax profits of a company may be reduced:
-
by 20% of the donation if the donation supports the public benefit activity of a public benefit organisation;
-
by 40% of the donation if provided to a public benefit organisation under a long-term donation contract (i.e., a monetary contribution provided based on an agreement between a public benefit organisation and its donor wherein the donor undertakes to provide the donation in the subject year and at least once a year for at least three forthcoming years, in the same or larger amount, without any consideration).
The above is not tax advice - please always consult with your tax advisor!

Project
Ukraine support initiatives
The backing of generous donors allows REAL School to continue operating its programmes to provide stability and community for displaced families from Ukraine for over 2.5 years now.
"Every day when my children return from the school, they have smiles."
Full-time students: 15 students successfully finished the 2023/2024 academic year at REAL School’s British-accredited international programme. This year, we still have 6 displaced children with us from our original cohort over two years ago. There are 4 children on the waiting list to enter the school from kindergarten, whom we can only admit if funding is available.
Summer camps: 15 Ukrainian children were offered financial support to join our summer camps, cultivating their creativity, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, sustainability mindset and skill set. This year, we will continue to organise weekend programmes and camps to scale the impact of REAL School’s model and to reach even more children.
Saturday school: 60-80 children attend every week, engaging in art, dance, Ukrainian reading and writing, soft skills, ecology, and basic English classes. We also organise regular English and Hungarian classes and special info sessions for adult refugees to help them settle in Hungary. Thousands of people from Ukraine still enter Hungary every day to find refuge.
Ukrainian learning hub "EcoSpace": 70+ children studied full-time here for the last two years, where traditional Ukrainian education was combined with REAL School’s project-based learning. Their “Who am I” project tells the story of displaced children and teachers through art. Initially started by REAL School and Ukrainian displaced educators, this school was made possible by our generous donors. “EcoSpace” is now becoming a fully licensed school with a long-term home and government funding.

Project
REAL Adventure Park
Imagine a space where creative and adventurous play thrives, a space that is a testament to our school's vision and the students' enthusiasm. This has been one of our school's longest dreams. Among the elements we originally planned for the area, the Makerspace and the raised-bed garden have already been brought to life, thanks to the community's efforts and the generosity of our donors.
We envision a playground teeming with children joyfully climbing, swinging and playing. Picture our students exploring nature-inspired play structures made from sustainable materials, creating their own games, and taking responsibility for their little kingdom - REAL Adventure Park.
REAL Playground site plan
Project update
4 September 2024: Our community rolled up their sleeves and cleared the playground area together. In just 1,5 hours, we emptied an entire container worth of stuff and tidied up the whole space.
14 June 2024: We have the final playground design, featuring an agility track, a hill with loose parts to build, a tunnel, and a climbing and lookout tower.
23 May 2024: A community planning session brought together children, parents, and educators to reflect on and share ideas for natural play spaces. We built four models from natural materials.
