About the funder

The "Jetzt Weeze" Foundation was established in August 2018 as a legal, non-profit foundation under civil law, based in Weeze. It exclusively and directly pursues charitable purposes within the meaning of the German Fiscal Code. The founders – in particular the houses Wissen and Kalbeck – contribute the proceeds from wind energy utilization in Weeze annually in a variable amount (at least a fixed sum of €70,000) to the foundation in order to support local clubs, initiatives, and projects. The focus is on all tax-privileged areas, ranging from youth and elderly care to art, culture, monument preservation, education, environmental protection, as well as sports and the preservation of local customs in the municipality of Weeze.
