Great that you want to become a member of Solidarität konkret e.V.!
Enrich our association as a member or supporting member.
The members form the important basis of the association. All members are welcome to participate and get involved on a voluntary basis. You are cordially invited to attend association meetings, participate in voting and elect the honorary board of directors.
In addition, as a member you will regularly receive information about our work and projects and gain an insight into how we work.
There are several good reasons: As a sustaining member you ensure the continuity of our work and help us to cover the running costs of the association. Despite the voluntary commitment of the members of the association and the board, we need money, for example for our website, our secure and encrypted donation portal or fees for the money transfer to Togo.
As a sustaining member, you will regularly receive information about our work and projects and get an insight into how we work.

Regular membership
Membership opens up opportunities to get involved (on a voluntary basis) in the association and in projects.
Members receive first-hand information and are entitled to vote at the general meeting.
The freely selectable membership fee helps to cover running costs of the association.
Sustaining membership
With a sustaining membership, the focus is on the idealistic and financial support of the association’s work, because despite the voluntary work of the board, running costs are incurred (e.g. for the website, our secure and encrypted donation portal or fees for the money transfer to Togo).
A sustaining membership is especially suitable for people who want to support our work on a regular basis, but do not want to actively participate in the association (e.g. voting rights at the general meeting).
Commonalities
Both sustaining members and regular members receive information about the work and projects of Solidariät konkret e.V. and get an insight into the workings of the association.
More information can be found here.
Both the membership fee and the sustaining membership fee are freely selectable. They can be adjusted at any time.
The association finances all costs incurred independently of the income from donations, i.e. in particular through membership fees. This enables us to pass on 100% of all donations.
As soon as the sum of the membership fees exceeds the funds needed for the operation of the association, the “surplus” membership fees are used as donations for projects in Togo.
Your membership fees and donations are tax deductible. Once a year (end of January) you will receive a receipt for membership fees and donations made in the previous year, which you can submit to the tax office. If you would like to receive a receipt for your membership fees before then, please feel free to contact us.
