Your support for the WERNER ERKES FOUNDATION

Education opens up opportunities, empowers people and creates prospects for future generations.

The WERNER ERKES FOUNDATION builds and runs educational institutions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, but also in Romania and Germany. Through our work, we aim to help ensure that children and young people have access to education and that learning and personal development open up new opportunities for them in life.

We rely on support to achieve our foundation’s objectives.

We welcome every donation – regardless of the amount. Whether you are an individual, a company or an institution: with your support, you help us to continue our educational work and make both existing and new projects possible.

How you can support our work

One-off donation

Every contribution counts. With a one-off donation, you support the work of the WERNER ERKES FOUNDATION and help us to develop our educational projects sustainably.

Regular support

A standing order enables reliable and continuous support for our foundation’s work. Even small regular amounts can make a valuable contribution in the long term.

Your donation by bank transfer

You can transfer your donation directly to our foundation’s account:

WERNER ERKES FOUNDATION

IBAN: DE65 3005 0110 1006 7997 77

Please include your full name and address in the payment details. This will enable us to clearly identify your donation and send you a donation receipt.

Setting up an endowment fund

Another way to provide long-term support for the work of the WERNER ERKES FOUNDATION is to set up your own endowment fund.

With an endowment fund, you can combine your personal interests and goals with our Foundation’s educational objectives. You decide for yourself how much you wish to contribute to the fund.

The WERNER ERKES FOUNDATION takes full responsibility for the organisation and administration of the endowment fund. You benefit from our experience and structures without having to deal with the day-to-day administration yourself.

Your own endowment fund offers you the opportunity to make a long-term commitment to education and the future of young people – particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

We would be happy to provide you with personalised, non-binding information about the options for setting up an endowment fund.

Making a difference through your will

Would you like to support the work of the WERNER ERKES FOUNDATION beyond your own lifetime? We would be delighted if you were to include us in your will.

With a bequest, you can help ensure that our educational work can continue and be further developed in the future.

Such a decision is a very personal one. If you would like to find out more about this without obligation, we would be happy to arrange a confidential discussion with you.

Thank you very much for your support

We would like to thank all the individuals, companies and institutions that support our work. Your trust and your donations help us to realise our foundation’s objectives and create educational opportunities.
