betterplace Foundation

The betterplace Foundation operates betterplace.org, enabling you to seek support for your initiative or to find and support the very project that means most to you.

100% is passed on: betterplace Foundation ensures that 100% of donations are channeled to their intended target. Therefore all of the Foundation’s overheads are covered through the profits made by betterplace Solutions GmbH and our partners.

Organisation & Governance

The betterplace Foundation is operationally managed by its CEO whilst the Founding Benefactors provide strategic direction as well as daily advice and input on many issues.

These roles are complemented by the Trustees and the Circle of Support, two groups that provide essential outside perspective and guidance to the Foundation’s management.

The five founding benefactors have also donated the starting capital of the betterplace Foundation, a non-profit limited liability company (gemeinnützige Stiftungs-GmbH).

Under the rules of German corporate and tax law and the foundation's charter, the benefactors formally own the shares of the foundation and exercise the legal rights of operational governance vis-a-vis the Foundation's management. However, the shares are of no economic value to the benefactors as they cannot be sold or used in any other profit-making way.
