Granted the DZI Seal of Quality by Foundation
The German Heritage Foundation (Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz) has been awarded the DZI Quality Mark for 2025 by the German Central Institute for Social Issues (DZI). This prestigious award recognises the organisation's commitment to transparency, responsible use of funds, and efficient management of donations.
The DZI, a reputable institution that specialises in social issues, annually re-evaluates the organisations it awards the Quality Mark to ensure they continue to meet its extensive criteria. For the eleventh consecutive year, the German Heritage Foundation has been confirmed to meet these standards.
The management and supervisory structures of the German Heritage Foundation meet modern standards, and remunerations are considered appropriate. The foundation conducts its fundraising truthfully, clearly, and factually, striving to meet the DZI's stringent standards.
The DZI Quality Mark confirms that the German Heritage Foundation handles donations carefully, responsibly, and in accordance with its purpose. The foundation has functional planning and control over its donations, and its handling of funds entrusted to it is considered careful and responsible.
The DZI ensures proper use of donations and their accounting through its own audit, preceded by an independent audit of the annual financial statements. This rigorous process guarantees that the German Heritage Foundation uses donations purposefully, thriftily, and economically.
