The Berlin School of Mines e.V. (BSM) has finally been founded (31st October 2007) and received its official recognition as a charitable institution (development association) by the German Taxation Office a few days later (9th November 2007). The statutes were accepted without changes.
We will now be able to issue official donation & fee receipts for the taxation office.
A huge thankyou to RoeverBroenner KG (see Partners section), who tremendously supported the BSM during its set-up phase and who shall continue to be an important advisor in the legal sector. A large funding proposal has been lodged with an international aid foundation to obtain support for the start-up phase which, in turn, shall be used to initiate the first development aid courses abroad and generate a vigorous search for further funding. Via this latter funding, scholarship programs for courses in Germany shall be implemented.
The membership-fee for individuals is 10 (ten) Euros, the fee for corporate members shall be negotiated. All projects and expenditures totally rely on donations (big and small). |
