transparency

Transparency is important to us. That's why ArrivalAid is part of the Transparent Civil Society Initiative.

Transparency is important to us

We have joined the Transparent Civil Society Initiative . We are committed to making the following ten pieces of information available to the public and keeping them up to date.

The following ten pieces of information go beyond the statutory publication requirements for non-profit initiatives. We still think it is important to make these available to the public and are therefore making them available voluntarily.

Information about ArrivalAid :

  • Name: ArrivalAid non-profit UG (limited liability)

  • Seat: Munich

  • Address: Ringseisstr. 11a, 80337 Munich

  • Founding year: 2015

  • Legal form: non-profit entrepreneurial company (limited liability)

  • Entry in the commercial register: HRB 219221

Since 2015, ArrivalAid has been offering innovative and scalable programs on migration-specific topics that connect people with a refugee or migrant background with volunteer mentors and professionally supervise the mutual commitment. Our programs are based on the needs of refugees. Our work is innovative and impact-oriented.

At our five ArrivalAid locations in Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt am Main, Düsseldorf and Cologne, we have been able to reach and support over 50,000 people across Germany with our programs since our founding. In our seven programs, people with and without a refugee background get to know each other better every day. They achieve success together, whether in looking for a job, in the asylum procedure or looking for an apartment.

The full articles of association can be found here .

Our work is because of

  • the promotion of education and vocational training, including student assistance,

  • the promotion of welfare,

  • the promotion of assistance for politically, racially or religiously persecuted people, for refugees and displaced persons and

  • promoting civic engagement
