Endowment Contribution – Doing Good That Lasts
Support vital research for a carefree future for children and adolescents with cancer by making an endowment contribution.
Shaping the future — during your lifetime and beyond. Passing on values that endure. Giving children a chance for tomorrow with what you have built in your life. Creating something lasting today — all of this becomes possible through an endowment contribution.
An endowment is a gift to the future.
-
While donations help immediately, an endowment contribution strengthens the assets of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer. You increase the foundation’s capital and thereby secure the long‑term, pioneering research carried out in our research house.
-
An endowment contribution has lasting impact through the annual returns it generates. Unlike a regular monetary donation, the funds do not need to be used promptly but instead strengthen our foundation over the long term. It is ensured that the returns are used exclusively for the foundation’s statutory purposes.
-
Endowment contributions can be made by both private individuals and legal entities.
Contributing is worthwhile
The German law provides tax advantages for this form of civic engagement:
-
Endowment contributions to the capital stock of a charitable foundation can (as of early 2026) be deducted from taxes upon request up to €1 million within 10 years (for married couples €2 million). This is in addition to the annual donation deduction (up to 20% of total income).
-
Business assets (e.g., real estate, shares, etc.) can be transferred with tax benefits without prior sale — for example, real estate can be transferred without real estate transfer tax..
-
If inherited assets are contributed to a charitable or benevolent foundation within 24 months, inheritance tax may be waived under certain conditions.
