Your personal, free advice
- If you are planning a major gift
- 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 the Effektiv Spenden platform, we recommend outstanding charitable projects that demonstrably achieve many times more than average projects. At the same time, however, every situation is different. And every person is unique. We have developed a range of tools to take account of your individual needs, which may go beyond our recommendations. With their help, we can work with you and your family to find out which type of philanthropy suits you best. For example our Short Stories, in which we outline the many facets of donating. Or the Philanthropic Profile, which we hang on the wall as a large-format poster in our workshops and work through together.
Everything is possible
The outcome of our discussions is open. It is therefore entirely possible that organizations other than those on our platform are even better suited to your goals. If so, we will be happy to introduce them to you - and, if necessary, bring in the founders and CEOs so that you can get a personal impression. If you would like to take advantage of the tax benefits of a large donation now, but want to take your time deciding which specific organizations your donations should go to, then we should talk about the Effektiv Spenden Depot (which basically corresponds to the Donor Advised Fund (DAF), which is widespread in the English-speaking world). You may also wish to include the subject of donations in your will. In this case, we could talk about the last will donation . Whatever you have in mind, we will find a way to make it happen - effectively and efficiently.
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 of charge and independent. It is made possible by voluntary donations to our organization - from people who we have supported in their donation decisions in the past.

(If you have questions about other aid organizations that we don’t recommend on our website, you might find some of our blog posts helpful. For example, we address the question of why it is better to not donate to large charities, or why we view the widely popular child sponsorships critically)
