As an alternative to establishing your own foundation, you can also contribute your donation to a thematic fund. The contribution will then be used for the cause you specify—as a one-time donation or as an endowment. Such thematic funds are available starting at 20,000 euros.
Having your own thematic fund under the umbrella of the Cologne University Foundation offers you several advantages:
- Targeted support for causes of your choice
- An easier way to get started than establishing your own foundation
- Professional management by the umbrella foundation
- Transparent management and use of funds
- Flexibility in design—for example, the fund can be named after you
Thematic funds tailored to your vision
As a donor, you can focus on the causes close to your heart without having to bear the administrative burden of running your own foundation. You benefit from the expertise of the Cologne University Foundation in project management and funding. Overall, a thematic fund offers you an effective way to bring about lasting social change.
