About Animal Equality Germany

We use campaigns to encourage policymakers to adopt or adapt laws to effectively protect animals. We bring in our expertise in the field of animal welfare and provide the responsible parties with advice, e.g. on the preparation of opinions on concrete legislative initiatives in the field of animal welfare. Our campaigns are supported by direct letters to politicians, petitions, protest actions and open letters, about which we inform members of the German Bundestag. This is also done in cooperation with other organisations.

Mithilfe von Kampagnen fordern wir die Politik dazu auf, Gesetze zu verabschieden oder anzupassen, um Tiere wirksam zu schützen. Wir bringen dabei unsere Expertise im Bereich Tierschutz ein und stehen den Verantwortlichen beratend zur Seite, z. B. über die Ausarbeitung von Stellungnahmen zu konkreten Gesetzesinitiativen im Bereich Tierschutz. Unsere Kampagnen werden unterstützt durch direkte Anschreiben an Politiker*innen, Petitionen, Protestaktionen und offene Briefe, über die wir Abgeordnete des Deutschen Bundestags in Kenntnis setzen. Dies geschieht teilweise auch in Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Organisationen.

Animal Equality Germany is a registered nonprofit in Germany. Donations to recognized charitable organizations (gemeinnuetzige Organisationen) are tax-deductible up to 20% of your total income. You will need a donation receipt (Zuwendungsbestaetigung) from the organization for your tax return.

You can verify Animal Equality Germany's charitable status in several ways. First, check the Zuwendungsempfaengerregister (ZER) at https://www.bzst.de/DE/Unternehmen/Zuwendungsempfaengerregister_organisation/zuwendungsempfaengerregister_organisation_node.html - the BZSt maintains this federal register of all organisations eligible to receive tax-deductible donations in Germany. Second, you can look up the association in the Vereinsregister (association register) at the local Amtsgericht (district court) via https://www.handelsregister.de/ - this confirms the legal form, registered address, and board members. Third, check whether the organisation holds the Freistellungsbescheid (tax-exemption notice) from its local Finanzamt - the notice is re-issued every three years and confirms the 'gemeinnuetzig' status under the Abgabenordnung. Legitimate charities publish this on their website or provide it on request.

You can donate to Animal Equality Germany directly through its donation page (https://animalequality.de/spenden/). German charities typically accept SEPA bank transfer (Ueberweisung) to the organisation's IBAN, SEPA direct debit (Lastschrift/Einzugsermaechtigung) for recurring donations, PayPal, credit card payments, and online payment processors like Stripe or Mollie. Many German charities use platforms like betterplace.org, GoFundMe, or their own Spendenseite (donation page). International donors can give via SEPA transfer (Germany is in the eurozone) or PayPal. For your donation to be tax-deductible, you need a Zuwendungsbestaetigung (donation receipt) from the organisation - for amounts up to 300 euros, a bank statement showing the transfer is sufficient.
