Ensuring first-class help
Harnessing many years of experience and strong partners
Five decades of Foundation engagement means extensive experience and expertise in understanding how projects need to be organised in order to directly help those affected and promote their development, thus giving them far more than just a prospect in life.
RESPONDING RAPIDLY AND DECISIVELY TO CRISES
We continuously develop criteria, according to which the DEICHMANN Foundation selects project partners, and – following our strict requirements – repeatedly put them to the test. For example, the Foundation works with experienced partners with whom there are usually long-standing relationships. In rapid onset incidents, the Foundation draws on a network of regional, national and international aid organisations, institutions and experts who enable rapid and targeted responses to crises.
The DEICHMANN Foundation team will be happy to answer any questions you may have. For projects, we combine know-how from development cooperation, social work and the financial sector.
