About CROI
Croí is a not-for-profit foundation established in 1985 as a limited company dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke in the region. We are an independent organisation, totally funded through our own fundraising activities, voluntary contributions and philanthropic support.
Our Mission is to improve the quality of life for all through the prevention and control of cardiovascular disease.
Our organisation is a registered charity - CHY 7500, governed by a Board of Directors who serve in a voluntary capacity and who do not receive any remuneration or expenses. We strive for the highest standards of governance and we have adopted both the voluntary Code of Governance for Charities and the Guiding Principles for Fundraising. Annually we undergo an independent audit and our accounts are filed with Companies Registration Office (CRO).
Our donors, supporters and volunteers, both in the corporate sector and wider community continue to give generously of their time and resources. We are deeply grateful for this support and endorsement of our mission. Using this generosity to the best benefit in a meaningful and measurable way is central to everything we do.
