About Fränkischer Weinbauverband

The interest representation takes the form of discussions with representatives of the Federal Ministries as well as with the members of the German Bundestag. The aim is to raise and promote Franconian wine-growing, in particular the taking of all measures to promote product quality and to defend and protect the protected designation of origin (PDO) Francs and other protected geographical arrivals in Franconian. In addition, direct letters of reference and/or the dispatch of position papers are given for concrete regulatory projects. Parliamentary evenings and discussions are also held for direct exchange, to which members of government, representatives and representatives of ministries are invited.

Die Interessensvertretung erfolgt in Form von Gesprächen mit den Vertreterinnen und Vertretern der Bundesministerien sowie mit den Mitgliedern des Deutschen Bundestags. Ziel ist die Hebung und Förderung des fränkischen Weinbaus, insbesondere die Ergreifung aller Maßnahmen zur Förderung der Produktqualität sowie zur Verteidigung und Schutz der geschützten Ursprungsbezeichnung (g.U.) Franken und weiterer geschützter geografischer Herkünfte in Franken. Darüber hinaus erfolgen anlassbezogen direkte Anschreiben und/oder der Versand von Positionspapiere zu konkreten Regelungsvorhaben. Zum direkten Austausch werden auch parlamentarische Abende und Diskussionsrunden durchgeführt, zu denen Regierungsmitglieder, Abgeordnete sowie Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Ministerien eingeladen werden.

Fränkischer Weinbauverband 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 Fränkischer Weinbauverband'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.

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.
