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).

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.

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.
