In brief: DZI Donation Seal
Did you know that every penny or cent of your donation to wortundtat goes to help people in need?
- 100% of your donation reaches its destination. This is possible because all administration and public relations expenses are covered by the DEICHMANN-foundation. In addition to numerous donations from individuals, the wortundtat foundation also provides comprehensive support.
- The proportion of expenses that wortundtat deploys for donation fundraising, public relations and administration are classified as ” low” by the DZI. For the DZI, “low” means that an organisation uses less than 10% of expenditure for such purposes. Few organisations can claim this
