We are a limited liability company with the status of a non-profit organization. The main difference to a normal GmbH is that we do not aim to make a profit. All financial surpluses are used exclusively for charitable purposes, in our case to promote climate protection. It is not permitted to distribute these surpluses to the shareholders, either in full or in part. The aim of our gGmbH is exclusively and directly charitable. In addition, a gGmbH enjoys tax advantages due to its non-profit status.

Yes. We are a non-profit limited company (gGmbH). This means that the climate protection contributions are tax deductible. For payments of less than €300, it is sufficient to provide the tax office with the transfer receipt or the corresponding bank statement. For higher amounts, you will need a donation receipt, which you will automatically receive from us for donations over €300. However, donation receipts are only valid for submission to German tax offices.

You will receive the donation receipt by e-mail to the address you enter on our website during the donation process.

Good to know: Up to an amount of €300, a bank statement is sufficient for the tax office.

The purpose of the receipt is to provide a donor with a basis for claiming the donation in their tax return and thus possibly receiving tax benefits.

We therefore need your name and (private) address to issue a donation receipt (also known as a donation receipt). For donation receipts for companies, we need the name of the company and the corresponding address.

Everything else, such as the date, amount or purpose of the donation, results from the donation process and does not need to be specified separately.
