we participate in voluntary transparency
We are a signatory to the Transparent Civil Society Initiative and want to help strengthen trust in civil society through transparency.
On the initiative of Transparency International Deutschland e.V., numerous actors from civil society and academia have defined ten basic facts that every civil society organization should make accessible to the public. These include the articles of association, the names of key decision-makers, and information on the source of funding, use of funding, and personnel structure.
