Support and donations

Support as a supporting member or donor

Our association depends on the involvement of many volunteers. We provide educational support with a low participant-to-staff ratio. Supporting members and donors enable us to maintain the wide range of projects and activities that membership fees alone cannot cover. As a supporting member or donor, you can actively contribute to cultural education and the research-informed development of new educational movement formats. Your support directly helps children and young people grow as individuals and opens up new opportunities for their development.

Charitable status and tax-deductible donations

The association is a charitable organisation, which means that all donations are tax-deductible. Your donation not only contributes to the further development of our educational activities but can also provide you with tax benefits. Your support goes directly into the association’s projects and thus directly benefits an actively engaged civil society.

Sponsor a child or young person

You can provide sponsorship for children and young people who need support. This lets donors know exactly where their money is going, while opening up a path for younger people into sport, culture, education and democratic participation.

Noncommercial work without advertising

Our work is based on a noncommercial approach. Unlike commercial providers, we operate without advertising. We do not maximise our income through questionable extras; instead, we focus on fulfilling our statutory aims. We operate independently of commercial interests and do not promote them. By donating as a supporting member or donor, you help the association continue its work without the influence of commercial interests, safeguarding authentic, independent educational work.

Institutional support and cooperation

In addition to private donations, funding institutions have supported us in the past and continue to do so. These include Stifter Helfen and the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF). Others can be found in our list of partners. Nevertheless, every euro counts in our efforts to achieve better, more sustainable education. Even the best funding programmes involve a heavy administrative burden for volunteer-run associations, which cannot be financed without private support.
