Donations

Thank You to Our Sponsors and Partners

A heart­felt thank you goes out to every­one who sup­ports ELKI — wheth­er through pub­lic fund­ing, fin­an­cial con­tri­bu­tions, mater­i­al dona­tions, or per­son­al engage­ment.

We thank the City of Munich, the Bav­ari­an Fam­ily and Social Affairs Cen­ter, and the Dis­trict Com­mit­tee 4 Schwabing-West for their con­tinu­ous sup­port, which makes an essen­tial part of our work pos­sible.

We also extend our grat­it­ude to the many loc­al shops, part­ner com­pan­ies, and ded­ic­ated neigh­bors who reg­u­larly sup­port us through dona­tions or cooper­at­ive ini­ti­at­ives.

And last but not least: thank you to all par­ents and fam­il­ies who, through mem­ber­ship fees and vol­un­tary dona­tions, help ensure that ELKI remains a lively, wel­com­ing, and safe place for chil­dren.

How You Can Support ELKI

Did you know that ELKI is fin­anced approx­im­ately 50% through dona­tions?
This includes mem­ber­ship con­tri­bu­tions, one-time or recur­ring par­ent dona­tions, and cor­por­ate spon­sor­ships. Without this sup­port, many of our open offer­ings and spaces could not exist — every con­tri­bu­tion, big or small, dir­ectly helps keep ELKI a vibrant place for fam­il­ies.

As a non-profit organ­iz­a­tion, ELKI does not oper­ate like a tra­di­tion­al insti­tu­tion with fixed fees. Instead, we rely heav­ily on people who believe in our mis­sion. Com­munity car­ries us — and you can be part of it.

 

There are several ways you can support ELKI:

💛 Become a mem­ber
 

With a mem­ber­ship, you sup­port ELKI in a long-term and stable way. At the same time, you bene­fit from reduced fees for courses and activ­it­ies. Becom­ing a mem­ber is an easy and effect­ive way to strengthen ELKI’s work.

Mem­ber­ship costs €72 per year per fam­ily. If you join dur­ing the year, you only pay €6 per month start­ing from your month of entry.

Join­ing is simple:
Down­load the ELKI Mem­ber­ship Applic­a­tion (in Ger­man), fill it out, and send it to buchhaltung@elki-schwabing.de — or pick up the form at one of our open gath­er­ings at the ELKI cen­ter.
We look for­ward to wel­com­ing you into our com­munity!

💛 Donate

Wheth­er one-time or recur­ring — every dona­tion helps us:

  • fund mater­i­als

  • main­tain our rooms

  • imple­ment new pro­jects

  • and provide chil­dren with a safe, open envir­on­ment for learn­ing and play.

Even small con­tri­bu­tions can make a big dif­fer­ence, as they go dir­ectly into our work.

💛 Become a Sponsor

Com­pan­ies can sup­port ELKI with fin­an­cial con­tri­bu­tions or mater­i­al dona­tions — help­ing to pro­mote fam­ily-friendly envir­on­ments in our neigh­bor­hood.
We wel­come every col­lab­or­a­tion: indi­vidu­al, cooper­at­ive, and bene­fi­cial for fam­il­ies.

Why is sponsoring worthwhile for companies?

Sup­port­ing ELKI allows com­pan­ies to:

  • demon­strate social respons­ib­il­ity and loc­al engage­ment

  • assist inter­na­tion­al employ­ees and their fam­il­ies as they settle in Munich

  • con­trib­ute to integ­ra­tion, equal oppor­tun­it­ies, and fam­ily-friend­li­ness in the region

  • strengthen their image as a com­mit­ted, people-ori­ented employ­er

  • improve long-term reten­tion of inter­na­tion­al pro­fes­sion­als through strong fam­ily sup­port

  • gain vis­ib­il­ity at ELKI and, upon request, be lis­ted as an offi­cial part­ner

Many com­pan­ies know: well-integ­rated fam­il­ies lead to sat­is­fied employ­ees — and thus a more stable, pro­duct­ive work­force.

As a partner, you directly support:

– our lan­guage devel­op­ment pro­grams
– integ­rat­ive fam­ily activ­it­ies
– open play and com­munity spaces
– coun­sel­ing for fam­il­ies from diverse back­grounds
– edu­ca­tion­al and recre­ation­al pro­grams that help fam­il­ies settle in

Your sup­port helps us man­age rising costs and secure our work for the future.
