More and more people feel the desire to take action to make the world a little better. For them, philanthropic engagement is a way of giving something to society - perhaps even giving something back - or leaving a personal legacy. In any case, it is a way to make a concrete positive contribution.
Do such thoughts also move you? Then we should talk about it. To turn your desire into real action, it is important to have a competent partner like Bethmann Bank at your side.
Let's find out together which form of involvement suits you and your ideas. Perhaps you are thinking of setting up a charitable foundation. We will support you from defining the purpose of the foundation to drawing up the articles of association and recognizing the foundation.
Perhaps you are already involved in philanthropic activities but have not yet found the right focus for your commitment. We can help you to find out what is particularly important to you and how you can get involved most effectively. Perhaps our donation plan, which we will be happy to send you on request, will help you to structure your philanthropic commitment and identify the right goals. In our network, you will also meet other donors and philanthropists and can exchange ideas with them or even gain fellow campaigners for your cause.
In any case, it is worth talking to us about your planned or existing commitment. We have many years of varied experience in dealing with philanthropic ideas, both in supporting our clients and through our own social commitment. We know how and where to start in order to bring the realization of your philanthropic cause in line with your values, but also with your life situation. Like an entrepreneur, you need the right strategy - and the right advice - right from the start.
Given the wide range of opportunities to get involved, it is important to be able to rely on a partner who has a good overview. We support you in every phase of your philanthropic commitment, from the establishment of a foundation to the implementation of any investment activity tailored to your ideas and values. Our services are aimed at private individuals, families, foundations and charitable organizations who want to make an impact with their commitment, but also at entrepreneurs who are looking for a new sphere of activity after their active time.
We assume social responsibility through our own activities - both locally and internationally. For example, the employees at our branches throughout Germany get involved locally, for example at the respective Social Days. On this day, they leave their desks to support charitable projects through personal, active help. In addition, Bethmann Bank supports various social and cultural initiatives at its locations, including the German AIDS Foundation, the German Child Protection Association, the 1. FC Köln foundation, the association "Bildung fördern e.V." and the social enterprise innatura.
The history of foundations dates back to ancient times. Donating and becoming a benefactor has therefore been anchored in our society for many centuries. We support you in developing and implementing tailor-made solutions for your commitment and your ideas. Combined with our expertise in sustainable investments and asset management, we provide you with our extensive experience and expertise, which ranges from foundation-compliant investments to the establishment of a charitable foundation.
