FUNDRAISING

Fundraising for Donations & Foundations – ArtExpert Advisory

Foundations are among the most effective and long-lasting instruments to support ideas, create social and cultural welfare, and sustain projects for generations. For over a thousand years, foundations—whether church foundations, noble family endowments, or civil organizations—have proven their ability to preserve purpose, impact, and cultural legacy across time.

Today, a variety of foundations exist, each offering unique opportunities to promote art, culture, and social initiatives. ArtExpert specializes in art and cultural fundraising advisory, guiding donors and organizations to create true win-win situations.

The Social Impact of Fundraising

Fundraising is essential for non-profit organizations to secure resources, whether financial or in-kind, for cultural, artistic, and social projects. By contributing to foundations, donors actively participate in shaping cultural heritage, supporting artistic innovation, and advancing social welfare.

Individual Benefits for Donors

Donors gain tangible financial advantages alongside the satisfaction of creating societal impact. Depending on national legislation, contributions to foundations may offer significant tax reductions:

  • In Germany for example,  up to 20% of annual income can be donated tax-free

  • Additionally, every 10 years, donations of up to €1 million (single) or €2 million (couple) may be tax-deductible

Through careful planning, donors can maximize tax benefits while ensuring their contributions support meaningful cultural and social projects.
