It's a jungle out there!
Finding the right organisations for important causes can be very time consuming. We researched ten of the most important fields NGOs are active in and chose the most genuine, transparent and impact oriented in each category.
The truth is that we all want to help. However, the reality is, that not enough of us get around to it. Therefore, we want to rethink the way we can engage our generation in donating. Currently there are many organisations working to better the world but unfortunately they do not get the support or exposure they deserve and need. Our wish is simple: we want you to help us help them. With your support wetenner wishes to awaken the passion and empathy we believe exists in you and allow these organisations to achieve their goals.
Only 4% of people under the age of 30 donate whereas over 55% of 60+ year-olds do! Who will carry the social responsibility when these people are gone?

Roughly 19 million people made donations in Germany in 2020. This is more than half a million less than 2019 and that was a half a million less than the year before. With wetenner we aim to change this trend so the responsibility for our future is not in the hands of fewer and fewer people.

This is the number of charity organizations in Germany, many of which are not transparent. We aim to reduce the complexity and allow people to simply donate.

Do you want to trust our NGOs? So do we! That's why we researched and checked the NGOs thoroughly. Of course many things are were considered but factors of paramount importance for us in the decision making process were:
Transparent with their funds
Not religiously or politically aligned
Donations of no more than € 10 million per year
Appropriate use of donations for administrative costs and marketing expenses
