Founded in 2019, Vicente Ferrer Stiftung Deutschland is part of the Vicente Ferrer family of foundations that have been committed to improving the living conditions of people in rural India for more than 50 years. Here, large sections of the population have very limited to no access to essential health care, medical assistance and education. Together with the Rural Development Trust (RDT), the local planning and executive organisation, programmes and projects for rural development are being implemented. The aim is to change the self-perception of women, men and children in a way that is aware of their rights, opportunities and duties and to manage their personal development successively independently.
Die 2019 gegründete Vicente Ferrer Stiftung Deutschland ist Teil der Stiftungsfamilie Vicente Ferrer, die sich seit über 50 Jahren für die Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen von Menschen im ländlichen Indien engagiert. Denn hier haben große Teile der Bevölkerung nur sehr begrenzten bis gar keinen Zugang zu lebensnotwendiger Gesundheitsversorgung, medizinischen Hilfen und Bildung. Gemeinsam mit dem Rural Development Trust (RDT), der planenden und ausführenden Organisation vor Ort, werden Programme und Projekte zur ländlichen Entwicklung realisiert. Ziel ist es, über die Förderung der Selbstversorgung benachteiligter Gemeinschaften hinaus die Selbstwahrnehmung von Frauen, Männern und Kindern so zu verändern, dass sie sich ihrer Rechte, Chancen und Pflichten bewusst werden und ihre persönliche Entwicklung sukzessive eigenverantwortlich steuern.

Vicente Ferrer Stiftung 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 Vicente Ferrer Stiftung'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.

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.
