Dauerspenden

Dauerspenden, also known as perpetual donations or endowments, are financial gifts made to an organization or institution with the stipulation that the funds are to be used indefinitely for a specific purpose. The donor retains no claim to the principal amount, but the income generated from the investment of these funds is used to support the designated purpose. This type of donation is particularly common in educational institutions, where the income can be used to fund scholarships, faculty salaries, or other educational initiatives. Dauerspenden can also be used to support cultural, scientific, or charitable organizations. The primary advantage of dauerspenden is that they provide a stable and long-term source of funding, allowing organizations to plan for the future with greater certainty. However, they also require careful management of the investment to ensure that the income generated meets the needs of the designated purpose.
