Donations

Dupuytren e.V. is funded entirely through donations from patients and, in part, some German health insurance companies (see below). We do not host or receive funding from advertising.

As a non-profit organization we are legally bound to spend our money only on information and research regarding Dupuytren's and related diseases. Though we get a lot of support from (unpaid) volunteers, we do need money to fund this web site, research projects, publications, and the forthcoming International Symposium on Dupuytren's Disease.

Donations are highly welcome!

Receipt

Please provide us with your postal address if you need a receipt for your donation. German tax authorities accept our receipts, other countries usually don't. Countries usually only give tax relief to charitable donations to organizations in their own country.

 

Donations from US citizens and cooperation with the Dupuytren Foundation

Dupuytren Society and the US based Dupuytren Foundation share the same goals and objectives. Both organizations are closely cooperating, we are brothers in arms (or hands, rather). Dupuytren Foundation is a non-profit organization registered in the USA and can issue receipts that are accepted for US tax declarations. US citizens are therefore encouraged to donate to Dupuytren Foundation, specifically if they need a tax receipt for their donation.

Support from health insurance companies

Donations from German health insurance companies (AOK, Barmer, DAK, and VAK) are gratefully acknowledged. These fundings are provided as part of the "German support for patient groups" and do not imply any advertizing for the donating health insurance companies or any liabilities to them.
