Help must reach the people who need it. As a completely voluntary organization, we live this principle. Through unpaid work we achieve very low administrative costs, which allow us to use donations almost entirely for direct aid.
In addition, trust and transparency are so important to us that we independently set ourselves high standards and demands:
As a member of the German Donations Council we subject ourselves to voluntary self-regulation. This serves to achieve greater transparency and thus ensure increased security when donating. In addition, we are committed to transparency and openness as part of the Transparent Civil Society initiative.
Our commitment
The goal of the ITZ is to create the broadest possible alliance of action within civil society that agrees on the essential parameters for effective transparency. Signatories to the initiative commit to making ten precisely named, relevant pieces of information about their organization easily discoverable, available to the general public in a specified format.
