A special occasion
Fortunately, there are many occasions that call for a celebration: a wedding, a birthday or a service anniversary. All of these are a cause for joy – a joy your guests can pass along to the Eugen Biser Foundation and its projects for peaceful coexistence in lieu of gifts. Upon request, you will be provided with a report on the impact and development of the project you and your guests have helped to fund.

Endowments and bequests
If you want to donate a legacy that will provide a portion of your assets for the benefit of a purpose that the Eugen Biser Foundation effectively works to promote, then you are encouraged to contact Marianne Köster for a consultation in confidence and without obligation.
Establishing a sheltered foundation
Every major donor has the option of establishing a sheltered foundation bearing his or her name. The purpose of such a foundation would be to use its income or, on an instalment basis, its capital, towards the promotion of the activities of the Eugen Biser Foundation. At the donor's request, his or her sheltered foundation could be set up and managed by the Eugen Biser Foundation. Any queries you may have will gladly be answered by our Managing Member of the Board of Trustees, attorney Dr. Heiner Köster.
Funding
Some of our projects devoted to Christian-Islamic dialogue have been funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the German Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) and the European Integration Fund (EIF). Public funding, however, must always be supplemented by private donations, because public funding only covers one, albeit substantial, portion of the cost of a project.
If you would like further information or would like to bring funding opportunities to our attention, you are kindly requested to call Marianne Köster or Stefan Zinsmeister.

As a member of the Association of the Friends of the Eugen Biser Foundation, you can help provide ongoing and long-term support for the activities of the Foundation through your membership fees and gifts made on special occasions.
