Sparkassenstiftung Gutes tun – Stifternetzwerk der Sparkasse Karlsruhe

The Sparkassenstiftung GUTES TUN – Donor Network of Sparkasse Karlsruhe was founded in July 2009 and consolidates the social commitment of Sparkasse Karlsruhe in a charitable foundation. With an initial capital of 500,000 euros, it enables private donors and companies to establish individual foundation funds or trust foundations without extensive bureaucratic effort. The proceeds from the foundation capital and the affiliated funds flow into 13 selectable funding purposes and benefit social, cultural, educational, environmental, and health projects in the Karlsruhe region. At the same time, Sparkasse manages the administration and offers its partners security, transparency, and the opportunity to secure their own commitment in the long term.

DOING GOOD is simple. The Sparkassenstiftung GUTES TUN makes philanthropy straightforward and personalized – from the initial idea to lasting implementation. As a trusted partner, it offers its donors freedom to choose their funding purposes, the protection and community of the donor network, professional administration by Sparkasse Karlsruhe, and the assurance that their commitment will continue beyond their lifetime in accordance with their wishes.

The foundation is aimed at private individuals, entrepreneurs, and non-profit organizations who wish to engage in the Karlsruhe region on a long-term basis without having to bear the bureaucratic and legal hurdles of establishing their own foundation. It addresses potential donors who want to support their causes of choice—ranging from culture and education to social issues as well as environmental and health projects—individually, as well as non-profit institutions, initiatives, and municipalities in Karlsruhe and the surrounding area that receive financial support through funds and projects.
