betterplaceorg

Betterplace.org is a German nonprofit online platform that connects donors with social impact projects worldwide. It enables individuals, companies, and organizations to discover, fund, and track charitable campaigns run by NGOs, civil society groups, and community initiatives. The platform emphasizes transparency by providing project pages, progress updates, and impact reports.

Launched in the late 2000s in Germany, betterplace.org expanded to host campaigns across multiple sectors, including education, health, disaster relief, and social inclusion. It markets itself as a tool for transparent philanthropy and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Organizations build project pages that describe goals, budgets, and timelines. Donors contribute online and can see how funds are used through updates and outcome reporting. The platform processes donations and may apply administrative fees to cover operating costs, with donors often able to subsidize these fees or direct their gifts to specific projects.

In addition to individual giving, betterplace.org has engaged with corporate partners to run employee giving programs and CSR initiatives, and it has supported disaster response and development campaigns through its network of civil society partners.

As a facilitator of online charitable giving, betterplace.org continues to promote transparency and accountability in philanthropy.
