THE ORGANIZATION

Aktion Deutschland Hilft is the alliance of 23 renowned German aid organizations founded in 2001. Together we help people who have lost everything due to major disasters.

Aktion Deutschland Hilft: Helping together faster
Aktion Deutschland Hilft is an association of German aid organizations. In the event of major disasters and emergencies abroad, the alliance provides quick and effective help together. The aid organizations combine their many years of experience in international humanitarian aid to optimize their successful work to date. In exceptional cases, Aktion Deutschland Hilft is also active in Germany.

Efficiently bundle aid measures
The joint action connects the still independent initiators. The aid organizations coordinate their respective knowledge and specific skills with each other, complement each other’s aid measures and pool their resources efficiently. In this way, overlaps and gaps in coverage are avoided in the run-up to the relief efforts.

A joint call for donations
In the acute phase of major disasters, Aktion Deutschland Hilft turns to the public with a joint call for donations. The Alliance’s calls for donations appear under the account number 102030 at the Bank for Social Economy.

cut costs & amp; Convert donations to help
The existing administrative structures and capacities of the alliance organizations help to reduce costs and to convert as much of the collected donations as possible into direct aid. The allocation of donations is based on a key. This takes into account the performance and performance profile of the aid organizations involved.
