The income of church organizations and dioceses in Germany will continue to decline in the coming years. We are therefore looking for alternatives to use our funding for projects on a revolving basis and to strengthen our partners' independence.

For some time now, we have been working with "Starkmacher Impact", whose goal is to help our partners reduce expenses and generate income. "Starkmacher Impact" has the capacity and know-how that we do not have.

If our partners generate income themselves through this support, they will be able to pay back the funding into a revolving fund and thus become supporters themselves, rather than those in need.
