The Germanwatch Foundation

Slider Germanwatch-Stiftung

For your special investment in global justice and the preservation of livelihoods.

As a trust Foundation, the Germanwatch Foundation directly supports the environmental and development policy actvities of Germanwatch.

If you value the goals and effectiveness of Germanwatch's strategic approach, you can put them on a sustainable basis with a sustainable donation. In this way, you expand the scope for actions and enable particularly important and innovative measures that are not adequately financed. Your contribution to the overall program and to the necessary infrastructure of Germanwatch is an investment in global justice and the preservation of livelihoods.

The Germanwatch Foundation was established by Germanwatch in December 2014, and its fiduciary management is carried out by the Foundation for Sustainability (Stiftung Zukunftsfähigkeit). With this it represents an additional option for all supporters who want to support the work of Germanwatch exclusively and do not want to do this by giving a donation to Germanwatch e.V. to be used up in the near future, but with a long lasting donation.


Your Foundation support

Your sustainable donation to the Germanwatch Foundation has an impact and offers you further advantages:

  • Your donation remains in the capital stock of the Germanwatch Foundation in the long term and is invested by us on the basis of strict sustainability criteria.
  • Another advantage: Compared to usual donations, there are even more favorable legal provisions for the tax deductibility of larger amounts for this kind of donation.
  • You will receive a donation receipt at the beginning of the following year, on request also before
