"We live in one of the richest countries in the world. How do we put this wealth to work to solve pressing problems?"
Vision
We live in one of the richest countries in the world. Nevertheless, there is a shortage of money everywhere to tackle urgent problems that will only become more expensive for all of us over time. We want to mobilize billions in private donations and investments to finance solutions - directly, collectively, and digitally.
Das Neue Geben makes it easier for everyone, no matter how much more they want and are able to contribute - with practical information, an inspiring network, and with the foundation platform bcause. This is how we bring donating into the 21st century and out of its niche transparently into the center of society.
