For more than 20 years, we have been funding innovative development projects and have been actively involved in disaster relief efforts

Our funding projects and disaster relief around the world

Here we present some funding projects that are either still ongoing or have recently been completed.

I am proud to work for a company that realizes initiatives like the Christmas donation campaign for India. I really hope that this aid reaches the children, and that it is accepted and helps improve their lives.
Thank you for your commitment to these financial campaigns, as well as your support and organization of them.

How can I support BASF Stiftung projects?

By donating!
We are delighted that you trust our work. We carefully select the projects and our partners and provide support throughout the entire implementation process. Our network of partners guarantees successful implementation thanks to its experts on the ground.
The last section of the website shows how your donation can reach us.

Does my donation really reach the cause it is intended for?

Yes. The BASF Stiftung forwards your donation – without any deductions – to a specific project if you specified a purpose in your bank transfer. We do everything we can to ensure that your donation helps people in need.

How do I get a donation receipt?

Donations of up to 300 euros can be submitted to the tax office without a receipt (donation certificate), as the deposit slip (e.g., account statement) can be submitted as proof.

If you donate more than 300 euros, we can issue a donation certificate if you are a German resident. In this case, please write to basf-stiftung@basf.com and provide your name, address, the date and the payment method (credit card, PayPal, bank transfer).

The donation certificate will be sent to you by the start of the year at the latest, enabling you to submit your tax return on time.

Can my project be funded?

For most projects, we work together with long-standing partners. In exceptional cases, we also support other projects, provided that they fit our priorities and selection criteria.

For tax reasons, we can only support organizations that are registered for tax purposes in Germany and are charitable under German law.
