Your donation is important!
The founding donors provided the initial endowment capital of 30.000 €. The income from these can only be a first step in the pursuit of the statutory objectives. We are therefore very dependent on the additional support of many donors.


Your donation will help to ensure that the University Church of St Paul as a room for theological, musical and academic use can be filled with life. For the period after completion there are extensive plans for the use of the space by the Theology Faculty, the worship department and the university music department. It is a major concern of the Foundation to support the implementation of such events to support as fully as possible. You can further the goals of the Foundation with donations or additions to the endowment capital, both of which are tax deductible in Germany. Additions to the Foundation are converted into (untouchable) endowment capital, the proceeds of which will be used for the furthering of the objectives of the Foundation. Donations contribute directly to the financial capacity of the Foundation to fulfil its objectives.

For donations of more than 200 € you will need a receipt for your donation to be tax deductible in Germany. We are more than happy to provide you with this receipt.
