In a letter dated October 12, 2026, the Hamburg-Nord Tax Office revoked the foundation’s charitable status (tax exemption). The reason given was missing documentation for the 2024 tax declaration.
Until the matter has been clarified, the foundation may not issue donation receipts for new donations.
As soon as we have more detailed information, we will post it here.
Update November 3, 2026: The tax office confirmed receipt of our documents in June 2026, but the electronic filing (Datev/Elster) apparently did not go through. We hope this issue can be resolved promptly.
