A perfect fit—whether for your foundation’s mission or for the causes closest to your heart. That’s exactly what the projects you support should be like. As an agile aid organization, we address this need with precisely tailored funding requests.
Your goal is to achieve the greatest possible impact with your contribution - in the topic or place that is your core concern.
This is exactly where we can support you. Our projects create measurable impact in some of the most neglected areas of the world.
Close to your foundation’s purpose, close to your personal mission—that’s what sets us apart. Whether preparing a foundation proposal or engaging in personal conversations to understand your giving priorities, we pursue your goals—together with you.
ZEWO seal of approval, ISO certification, CHS Alliance label - they all confirm the quality of our fundraising and use of funds. Perhaps even more important: our many years of experience and countless projects that have demonstrably brought about sustainable change.

Proposal
Whether you receive an application from us as a foundation or are in conversation with us as a philanthropist, one thing is true in both cases: we tailor our proposals to fit perfectly with your foundation or personal mission. As a close-knit and approachable aid organization, this is especially easy for us.
Start
With over 40 years of experience in the foundation and philanthropy sector, along with our streamlined processes and service-oriented mindset, we make the initial phase as easy as possible for you. This way, you have more room for other important tasks.
Reporting
Authenticity and honesty are two of our values. We do not sugarcoat the impact of our projects and provide you with timely and complete information. We do this in the form, scope and regularity that you require.
Has a particular project caught your attention? We can help you to support it specifically. Would you like to support a certain sub-project? That’s also possible.
Is your core interest one of our project countries—Bangladesh, Malawi, Peru, Zambia, South Sudan, or Uganda? If so, we can show you how to support disadvantaged people across projects in a country-specific way.
It’s very possible that your personal mission aligns with a specific cause. With our four core thematic areas—livelihoods, education, health, and peace promotion—we’re sure to find one that resonates with you.
With the Emergency Relief Fund, you have the opportunity to support people in urgent need, regardless of specific disasters or crises. We also use your contributions to respond to crises and disasters that are not in the public spotlight.
One crisis follows another. Wherever an urgent situation grabs your attention, we—or our partners—may already be helping, and we are grateful for your support.
