The Karić Brothers Foundation announces that its President, Danica Karić Stojilković, known in her artistic work as Dana Karić, has received the “Svetislav Milić – From the Heart to Youth” award. The recognition was presented in Niš by the Milić family and the humanitarian organization Nađi Raula, and is dedicated to individuals whose work leaves a lasting mark in culture, philanthropy, and community life.

The award carries an added layer of meaning, as its founder, Svetislav Milić, is himself a recipient of the Karić Brothers Award. Although shaped in different contexts, both recognitions reflect a shared orientation toward culture, humanity, and responsibility toward others.

The Karić family’s work extends across nearly five decades of continuous humanitarian engagement. Within that continuity, Danica Karić Stojilković has developed her own path, bringing together artistic expression, public presence, and a sustained commitment to social initiatives through the work of the Karić Brothers Foundation.

Founded in 1979, the Foundation is dedicated to humanitarian work, the preservation of Serbian culture, and the values of tolerance and coexistence. Through ongoing cultural, educational, and social programs, it contributes to shaping spaces in which people can connect, learn, and support one another.

Danica Karić Stojilković received this recognition for her contribution to promoting a culture of peace, humanity, and togetherness through philanthropy, art, and public engagement. Her long-standing support for children in vulnerable circumstances, particularly through her work with the Belgrade Shelter for Children, reflects a consistent attention to care and responsibility.

In her work, creativity and empathy remain closely connected. Through this approach, the Foundation continues to open opportunities for those who need support, with a focus on creating conditions in which children can grow, learn, and find stability.

In her acceptance speech, Danica spoke about the importance of shared effort and the need to create space for younger generations to develop with dignity and confidence, supported by the community around them.

This recognition reflects not only her personal path, but also the work of all those who contribute to the Foundation, volunteers, collaborators, and partners. The Karić Brothers Foundation continues to move forward guided by values of care, responsibility, and connection, sustaining its humanitarian work over time.
