Finances and accountability<\/h1>\n

The foundation of our aid is our donors. We are committed to handling the donations they entrust to us with the utmost care. Your donation goes where it is needed – to the cleft children.<\/p>\n

Sources and use of funding<\/h2>\n

As per our statutes, we use our donation income to fund treatments for patients with cleft lip and palate in developing countries, and maintain the aid infrastructures necessary to provide these treatments. Each of our projects is led by a surgeon. Every treatment is documented by the doctors on site in our patient database.<\/p>\n

Every month, we check the documentation. For each properly documented surgery, we pay out a fixed case fee to the projects. The amount varies from country to country depending on the costs of providing a surgery in the country in question. On average, the fee currently amounts to some 300 euros per operation performed.<\/p>\n

This fee is used to pay all costs of the surgery: the hospital stay, anaesthetics and medication, and the wages for the team: doctors, nurses and project coordinators. <\/p>\n

Annual reports<\/h2>\n

Our annual financial statements are audited by an external company in accordance with the exacting DZI guidelines. This detailed financial report is published on October 1 of the following year in our online annual report, which you can also download as a PDF below. In the preliminary version, the focus is on a comprehensive review of the year with impressions from our project countries. You can also order this preliminary report from us in printed form. Simply use our contact form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please note that only the annual reports since 2019 are available in English. You can download older reports in German from the German version of our site. Likewise, the expanded annual report with the full financial statement also is available only in German and can be downloaded on the German version of this page, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nonprofit status<\/h2>\n

As a promotor of charitable purposes and public health, Deutsche Cleft Kinderhilfe e.V. is exempt from corporation tax in accordance with Section 5 (1) No. 9 of the Corporation Tax Act and exempt from trade tax in accordance with Section 3 No. 6 of the Trade Tax Act (exemption notice from the Freiburg-Stadt Tax Office, tax number 06469\/47127, February 3rd, 2026 for the last assessment period 2022 to 2024).<\/p>\n

Due to our nonprofit status, we can issue donation receipts for donations received. In order to minimize the administrative load, a collective receipt for all donations made by a donor in the previous year is sent out at the beginning of the following year. Should you require your receipt at an earlier time, please contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
