We don't measure our success in dollars. But in square meters.
As a non-profit organization, we owe it to you, our donors, partners, volunteers, employees and committee members, to use our funds responsibly. Your donations should arrive directly and achieve the greatest possible success in our projects. This is the only way we can be an effective fundraising organization.
In Germany, there are no uniform disclosure requirements for non-profit organizations. Nevertheless, we consider it important to disclose our structures, activities and finances in order to strengthen trust and credibility.

As a donor or partner, you can be sure that your contribution will be used effectively.
In 2017, we joined the Transparent Civil Society Initiative.

Nature conservation. But effective.

Ten points for the public
On the initiative of Transparency Deutschland e.V., numerous actors from civil society and academia have defined ten basic points that every civil society organization should make accessible to the public. These include the articles of association, the names of key decision-makers and information on the source of funds, use of funds and personnel structure.
