The Professional Foundation

A foundation at bcause offers the full scope of action of a classic foundation, but frees you completely from bureaucratic hurdles. It enables private individuals and companies to manage even complex engagements highly efficiently.

No capital tie-up

Unlike a traditional foundation, we do not require a minimum deposit. You are completely free to decide on the amount and timing of your contributions, without locking up assets permanently in rigid structures. Your Professional Foundation offers you the full creative power of a foundation.

Tax advantages

Acting independently of time

Take advantage of tax benefits when it suits you, and make your funding decisions at your own pace. bcause decouples contributions from payouts. This allows capital to be built up strategically and deployed precisely when the impact is greatest.

More benefits of a Professional Foundation

As with a personal foundation, the Professional Foundation offers the opportunity to invest and grow assets through impact investing before they are distributed to non-profit organizations. As part of the Professional Foundation, we offer you various investment options with different impact and return profiles.
