Foundation Funds under the Umbrella of the Volksbank Niederrhein Solidarstiftung
The Volksbank Niederrhein Solidarstiftung enables private individuals, companies, foundations, and non-profit organizations from the left Lower Rhine region to establish individual foundation funds with a minimal capital investment. The focus is on thematic areas such as social cohesion and democracy, regional development, labor & social affairs, as well as agriculture & rural development. Under the umbrella of the community foundation, Volksbank Niederrhein eG and the Deutsche Stiftungsagentur handle the complete processing and administration, allowing donors to support public welfare-oriented projects in North Rhine-Westphalia long-term without ongoing administrative effort. Thanks to transparent contractual frameworks and favorable cost structures, the contributed assets are preserved while the generated proceeds benefit the designated funding purposes.

To establish a foundation fund or a purpose-bound endowment, an excerpt from the statutes and a checklist of potential donors must be submitted. Applications and endowments can be submitted at any time, as funding is offered continuously. Through standardized, unbureaucratic implementation, supporters benefit from attractive tax conditions, personal naming in the fund, and regular reports (annual financial statements, tax documents, etc.). The possibility to change the purpose of use at any time, as well as a simple inheritance arrangement, make this model an elegant option for all who wish to contribute long-term and sustainably to strengthening the common good in the left Lower Rhine region.
