Monetary donations

Spendenbrücke is a purely private initiative run by Tentaja Soziale gGmbH. That means we receive no state funding for our work.

The money you donate is used to buy the essential items that we cannot cover through donations in kind as and when we need them. By essential items we mean only civilian aid supplies. Moreover, your donations help us to target deliveries to our contacts in the Ukraine as they allow us to finance our own transport.

In addition, from 1 June 2022 onwards your donations help to cover the costs involved in organising the Spendenbrücke initiative. Until now, all of these costs had been covered in full by three private donors.

Organisation costs include a small team of full-time operations staff and expenses for office materials, insurance, telephone, Internet and related items, that is, all of the ‘other operating expenses’.

These expenses allow us to efficiently expand our structures long term so that we can support volunteers and carry out campaigns. As a result, we are able to continue to raise awareness of the help needed for Ukraine. These campaigns and PR work are simply not possible without your generous donations.

Every contribution helps to support the people of Ukraine and to continue to give them a voice.
