atmosfair gGmbH is a gemeinnützige GmbH (gGmbH) - a nonprofit limited liability company. The gGmbH combines the commercial structure of a GmbH with a nonprofit mandate: profits must be reinvested in the charitable purpose and cannot be distributed to shareholders. The gGmbH is increasingly popular for social enterprises and charitable subsidiaries. It is governed by the GmbH-Gesetz with additional requirements from the Abgabenordnung for the 'gemeinnuetzig' designation. It is registered in the Zuwendungsempfaengerregister (ZER) maintained by the Bundeszentralamt fuer Steuern (BZSt).
You can verify atmosfair gGmbH'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 atmosfair gGmbH directly through its donation page (https://www.betterplace.org/de/organisations/22691-atmosfair-ggmbh). 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.

Great idea and very easy to use website!I use it to offset the CO2 emitted during my trips. Love the idea that they don't just plant trees, but invest in projects that save CO2 emissions and help people in developing countries at the same time.
Trustpilot
Probably the best Carbon Offset initiative. certified with CDM Gold Standard which is the strongest existing standard for climate protection projects. You can even choose specifically the project you want to support. What else?
Trustpilot
Used Atmosfair to offset a business class trip from Australia to UK. They are definitely the real deal, and they are also pioneers with their green fuel pilot plant.
Trustpilot
I was keen to find a reputable offsetting company that was not just going to greenwash my conscience.From background research, Atmosfair are the real deal for flight offsetting or for a regular subscription.
Trustpilot
The crew was in and out in less than two days- the two hottest days of the year and they mad sure the upstairs was working by the end of the first day so I could sleep ( heavily pregnant). They are very neat and tidy, you wouldn't notice they were there. You really don't notice the units, as the guys have experience in placing them in the most discreet places. I got one in the kitchen to match my cupboards and it looks fabulous.The units are also very quiet and work so quickly. We are so so happy and would highly recommend Atmosfair.
