I thought for a long time that a foundation was only for the super-rich. Now being able to say: ‘I have my own foundation’ feels great!
I not only support organisations that I already know through bcause, but I am always discovering new suggestions and getting lots of inspiration.
When it comes to my commitment, personal support is important to me. I can do everything digitally here, but I get help when I need it.
With you, over 2,000 private individuals, public figures and companies are already part of our bcause community. The topics that they support with their foundations are as diverse as the users themselves - from equal opportunities to promoting reading for children to sustainability in the construction industry.
You probably already know some of our members.

At bcause, you do not set up a legally independent foundation - we have already taken care of that for you with the establishment of the bcause trust foundation. That's why you don't need a notarised certificate or to define a foundation purpose to start your commitment on the platform.
Legally speaking, your bcause Foundation is a fund within our charitable trust foundation into which you can simply make a donation. Our structure is therefore most similar to that of Donor Advised Funds, which have existed successfully in the USA for a long time.
Registration with bcause is completely free of charge. You can choose between 3 different membership models for your commitment. With the basic membership, you can support all organisations at bcause and pay a small transaction fee for each one. If you want to get involved on a regular basis or are interested in a public foundation that others can also contribute to, our premium model for €170 per year is the right choice.
Our aim with bcause is to mobilise more private assets to support organisations and social enterprises. Nevertheless, organisations cannot register on bcause themselves or raise donations directly. They are suggested by members who would like to support them via the platform. The commitment of an existing member also increases the visibility of an organisation for other bcause members.
You can easily collect donations via your Foundation to support charitable organisations of your choice.
Do you not only want to support existing organisations, but also plan to implement a charitable project yourself? Get in touch with your idea at [email protected].
