Endowment: How Your Donation Will Make a Lasting Impact

Shaping the Future Together with the Cologne University Foundation

Endowments ensure the long-term viability of the Cologne University Foundation and provide sustainable support for forward-looking projects.

The Cologne University Foundation supports projects for students in all academic disciplines. Pictured here is the university library.

If you contribute your donation to the foundation’s existing endowment, this is referred to as an endowment contribution. The advantage: Your contribution will be preserved forever.

The annual returns on the foundation’s total assets benefit all of its funding areas: cutting-edge research, early-career researchers, knowledge transfer, and international and regional networking.

The foundation’s governing bodies select the most sustainable projects for this purpose.
