In the eighties, the Bessarabian nobleman Mihail Stroesku's attempts to support the Romanian Bessarabian education were rejected by the Russian authorities, so his philanthropic activities was conducted in the Kingdom of Romania, especially in Transylvania.
"Association for Supporting Apprentices and Journeymen of Romanian Craftsmen of Brașov" was founded in 1869 by a group of Brașov intellectuals and merchants on the initiative of the priest Bartolomeu Baiulescu. The purpose of this organization was to help the apprentices and journeymen and to support craft activities in Brașov.
The customs war, which broke out between Romania and Austria-Hungary in mid-1886, had serious consequences for the economy of Transylvania. The economic disorders provoked the migration of a significant part of manufacturers and workshop owners from Transylvania outside the Carpathian arc that worsened the financial problems of the craftsmen association from Brașov.
On November 22, Mihail Stroesku and his wife Eliza donated the association 25,000 Austrian florins (50,000 lei). Over the years, the "Eliza and Mihail Stroescu Foundation" was one of the main sources of its funding. This money has been spent on manuals, materials, awards, scholarships, rent, material assistance, current expenditure etc.
