Tested & recommended!

The Phineo ‘It Works!’ seal confirms that our work has a demonstrable impact and that we are a high-performing and transparent organisation.

To obtain it, we underwent a six-month, four-stage assessment by independent experts. 

The non-profit organisation AG Phineo provides an independent and reliable assessment of the effectiveness of social engagement. In doing so, it saves private donors and companies looking for projects that deliver real impact the time-consuming and tedious task of scrutinising the details.

As a donor or partner, you can therefore be confident that your contribution will be put to effective use here.
