you can support our work by means of endowments, donations or even your own initiatives.

What is the difference betweeen an endowment and a donation?
The capital of the foundation may not be diminished and ensures returns on  a permanent basis. The foundation can fund its work using revenue resulting from the investment of the foundation capital. It is the foundation capital which thus makes the long-term work of the foundation possible.

Donations, on the other hand, must be used in the short term for the work specified in the foundation statutes.

Stiftung Solarenergie - Solar Energy Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization. Therefore, your contributions are tax-deductible in the United States, Germany and Switzerland.
