To be able to donate the return without transaction costs to organisations outside Germany, we work together with effektiv-spenden.org.

the latest scientific findings. In other words, the organisation that does the most good with an extra euro, i.e.
helps as many people as possible as much as possible. In addition, we organise tax-privileged donations for this
organisation in Germany."
