betterplace.org

Betterplace.org, founded in November 2007 in Berlin, is Germany's largest donation platform and is operated by the non-profit stock corporation gut.org. The platform was initiated by Joana Breidenbach, Jörg Rheinboldt, Line Hadsjsberg, Moritz Eckert, Stephan Breidenbach, and Till Behnke.

• Donation Platform: Betterplace.org allows non-profit organizations and projects to collect donations. Donors can choose from a variety of international and local aid projects and support them directly[1][4][5].
• Betterplace.me: A platform for individuals and non-nonprofit initiatives.
• Betterplace Academy: A free learning platform for social organizations on digital topics.
• Betterplace Lab: Researches and experiments in innovative projects for the digital design of social trends.
• Betterplace Solutions: Advises companies on Corporate Social Responsibility.
• bUm: An event space and co-working area that promotes exchange and networking between different people and perspectives.
• bcause: A platform that enables private capital to be easily and without entry barriers contributed for social purposes[3][4].

The main mission of Betterplace.org is to connect people and companies who want to help directly with the people and organizations that need help. The platform focuses on transparency, security, and efficiency. Each organization must detail what donations are needed for and how they will be used, and report on project progress[1][4][5].

Betterplace.org aims to make the social sector larger, more efficient, and more effective. This includes:

• Transparency and Evaluation: All organizations are required to be transparent and must detail what donations are needed for and how they will be used. Projects can be publicly evaluated.
• Cost Efficiency: Through reduced fundraising and administrative costs of the aid organizations.
• Broader Reach: Through marketing campaigns, partner portals, and additional donations from corporate partners.
• Digital Training: The Betterplace Academy offers free learning opportunities on digital topics for social organizations.
• Social Initiatives: Initiatives like bUm and bcause promote social exchange and the involvement of private capital in social projects[1][3][4].

Betterplace.org is funded through services for companies, strategic partners, and private donors. A small part of the revenue comes from voluntary contributions from donors and up to 2.5% of each donation, which is used to cover transaction costs. The gut.org gAG, which operates Betterplace.org, is a member of the Initiative Transparent Civil Society and other important networks[1][4].

Since its founding, Betterplace.org has donated over 100 million euros to more than 32,000 social projects and supports social projects from 183 different countries. The platform remains true to its non-profit mission and continuously works to make the world a better place[1][4][5].
