In case you would like to donate to our partner projects, this is unfortunately not possible. The organization itself has to be certified. But, in Germany you don’t need a proof for your taxes in case your donation is below 100 Euro.

What does NGO mean?

NGO is a short form for non-governmental organizations. This includes different kinds of aid organizations that are independent from governments.

You most probably know huge organizations that are working in the non-profit sector. We are ourselves a non-profit company registered under the German law.

TRANSPARENCY

How do you finance the platform?

At the moment we are doing educational projects that are funded. Our work on the Blog and sharing on Social Media is voluntary work.. Our goal is to be financially sustainable with workshops, online-courses and consultation of travelers, as well as institutions.

Every Euro we earn will go back into give & grow, as we are a non-profit-company.

Why should I support small NGO's?

For the same reason you should support small businesses: the money goes straight to the cause and stays with the local community.

Many big organizations have huge overhead costs (staff, marketing, offices …). Local grassroots organization take the money right to the cause without loosing it on the way.

VOLUNTEERING

Why don’t you offer an extensive travel consultation and matching of volunteer organizations?

Our goal is to transform the tourism and volunteering industry. We believe that we can do this best by informing possible clients and staying independent ourselves. In the long run, we want to contact both sides: the volunteers and the NGOs on our platform.

The main focus is advocacy and raising awareness – together with you!

How can I prepare for my trip?

Really good questions because a volunteering trip is something that actally needs some planning in advance. We help you with that.

We are currently working on an online course and you can contact us now already for consulting.

And on top of that: the whole give & grow community can help you as well!
