- We determine our partners and fields of action ourselves.
- We fund projects that promote democratic processes and strengthen trust in democratic institutions.
- We see ourselves as a respectful funder that acknowledges our project partners’ expertise.
- Together with our partners, we continually assess the effectiveness of projects. When necessary, we have the courage to talk about and to adjust a project’s focus and aims.
- We fund projects that strengthen a culture of debate and promote diversity.
- Because we know how fragile democratic structures are, we fund projects that strengthen our pluralistic coexistence and combat antisemitism as well as hatred directed against supposed “others”.
- We are a non-profit organization in the sense of the German TaxCode (Abgabenordnung) and support projects that serve non-profit purposes. Our partners confirm that they will use the funds only for the agreed upon non-profit purposes.
- We are careful with our partners’ resources; that is why we avoid unnecessary red tape. The focus should always rest on the project’s success - not on its administration.
Resource
Antisemitism and hatred towards minorities, as well as growing skepticism towards democratic institutions, threaten the future of our open society and our peaceful coexistence.
We want to contribute to protecting the freedom of us all, by strengthening democratic processes and institutions and taking a critical look at the past. As a rule, we actively approach projects and people whose approaches we find interesting.
