About Us

What we do:

Non-profit status on demand

We enable you to volunteer for current social issues as required. We provide a non-profit structure that enables you to do this in just a few hours from idea to implementation.

"Structure without life is dead. But life without structure is unseen", John Cage

You can collect donations for charitable causes alone, together with friends or even for your company, implement your own initiative or forward your collected donations to other charitable organizations at home and abroad. We support you with our expertise to help you overcome obstacles together and develop your civic engagement safely, quickly and effectively.

We make charitable involvement easy:

You have an idea – we give you the structure.
You want to help – we’ll show you how.
You want to collect donations – we make it possible.

Engagement that fits your life

Do you want to get started instead of fighting your way through applications? You don’t fancy association law, but are really keen on change? Then take advantage of our non-profit structure – so that only a few hours lie between idea and realisation.

No matter whether you:

get active on your own,
organise something with friends or
plan a campaign with your team or company:

We help you to collect donations for good causes, implement projects or pass the money on to verified charitable organisations – in Germany or worldwide. We support you with expertise and tools so that your commitment is safe, effective and efficient.

Target Audience

Companies or organizations that want to realise their own social commitment through us (Fiscal Hosting).

Foundations and non-profit organizations that want to join us in pursuing innovative approaches in civic society.

Below you will find a few examples of what we can achieve together with you.

Collect donations

Collect donations for your charitable activities with us. We issue donation receipts to your donors. Your donors can use a variety of payment methods via Stripe, including international options. We can also accept donations in kind if required.

Apply for funding

Foundations, companies and public authorities provide funding for charitable activities. We support you in applying for funding and, as an experienced and trustworthy recipient of funding (project sponsor), we work with you to ensure that the funds are used correctly in accordance with the funding provider's requirements.

Use your donations

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. You can and should use the donations and grants you receive to carry out your charitable activities. We are contractual partner and invoice recipient. We are happy to provide various digital payment methods or settle invoices directly, and we will reimburse you for any expenses. We operate entirely cashless.

Forward donations

Many of our initiatives aim to forward collected donations to other charitable organizations nationally or internationally in order to provide the best possible help directly on the ground. We ensure that the recipients are eligible for support and work with you to document the correct use of the donations.

Crypto donations

We accept crypto donations and, under certain conditions, also issue donation receipts for them. We are still testing this new type of donation, so please contact us if you have any questions.
