Your personal, free advice
- If you are planning a larger donation
- If you want to involve your family or company in the decision to donate
- If you simply want a little more certainty in your decision about where to donate

Here’s how it starts
Just as individual as you are
On our platform, we recommend carefully selected charitable projects that have been proven to be particularly effective.
But every situation is different - and every person donates for their own reasons.
We have developed various tools to help you find out which type of philanthropy suits you and your family best. They help you to recognize your own priorities and make conscious decisions.
For example our Short Stories, which show how diverse donations can be. Or the Philanthropic Profile - a large wall poster that we fill in and discuss together in workshops.
Many paths lead to the goal
The outcome of our discussions is open. You may find that organizations outside of our platform are even better suited to your goals. In this case, we will be happy to introduce you to them - and put you in direct contact with those responsible if you are interested.
If you would like to take advantage of the tax benefits of a larger donation now, but still want to take your time to decide on the specific organizations, it is worth talking to us about the Effektiv Spenden Depot. It works in a similar way to the Donor Advised Fund (DAF).
You may also want the subject of donations to be included in your will. Then a last will donation might be interesting for you.
Free of charge and independent
Whether it’s a short phone call, a longer video call or an on-site workshop - our donation advice is free and independent.
It is made possible by voluntary contributions from people who we have had the pleasure of supporting in their donation decisions in the past.
If you want to find out quickly and easily what kind of support is right for you, you can reach us by phone at +41 (0)44 244 27 38, per Mail, on our contact form or directly via one of the contact persons listed below.
And if you are interested in other organizations that are not listed on our website: In some of our blog posts, you will find background information - for example, why donations to very large aid organizations often have less impact or why we view child sponsorships critically.
