About us

Transparency of our organization

A careful use of our financial means as well as transparency towards the public and our donors are essential for us.

There are no uniform disclosure requirements for non-profit organisations in Germany. Anyone working for the common good should nevertheless tell the community exactly what goals the organisation is pursuing, where the funds come from, how they are used and who the decision-makers are.

Transparent Civil Society initiative

Cap Anamur is part of the "Initiative Transparente Zivilgesellschaft" (Transparent Civil Society Initiative).

We believe it is right that those who work for the common good communicate transparently to the community what goals the respective organisation pursues, account for the origin and use of funds and introduce decision-makers.
