Hope grows when you share it.
Together, we create solutions that enable social change.
Hoffnungsträger brings people, ideas and resources together to tackle social challenges effectively. As a hybrid organisation, initiator, investor and strategic partner, we create scalable models for societal change.
We are looking for partners who share our vision – people and organisations who want to promote hope, with capital, expertise and commitment. Here you will find an overview of the opportunities for collaboration. We will discuss the details in person and, of course, in complete confidence.

Creating living spaces
Our Hoffnungshaus® (House of Hope) and Zukunftshaus (House of the Future) concepts bring people with and without a refugee background together under one roof – for active integration and strong social cohesion.
Living together
Living in a Hoffnungshaus® means being part of the neighbourhood as a bearer of hope, building relationships and sharing life.
Volunteering
Shaping the future through volunteering: Get involved at one of our sites and strengthen integration, community spirit and social cohesion.
Making a global impact
Restorative Justice
At the heart of our work lies restorative justice: an approach that empowers victims, promotes responsibility and heals social rifts, enabling reconciliation and lasting change.
Alternative sentencing, APAC & rehabilitation
We promote and disseminate, among other things, alternative sentencing models such as APAC, which focus on responsibility, rehabilitation and dignity – for lower reoffending rates and genuine new beginnings.
Programmes for children & families
We support children and families affected by imprisonment through education, livelihood support and prospects for the future.
Villages of reconciliation & peace work
In Villages of Reconciliation, victims and former offenders take steps towards healing together – fostering peace, trust and new prospects in conflict-affected communities.
Developing housing
Construction of affordable housing and kindergartens
We develop and implement sustainable construction projects for affordable housing and social infrastructure. From neighbourhoods and diverse housing types to kindergartens, we combine social impact with high architectural quality.
Inclusive housing projects for social cohesion
Innovative building for a vibrant community: Hoffnungshaus brings people together at over 10 locations through communal spaces both indoors and outdoors, as well as an innovative concept.
Enabling philanthropy
We work with you to develop tailored strategies for effective involvement and implement them efficiently, acting as a solution partner for complex challenges and a reliable implementer.
Giving Fund
Enjoy the benefits of having your own foundation without the administrative burden. With our digital toolkit, you can shape your venture flexibly and professionally, from donations to Impact Investments.
Events
Our events bring together people united by philanthropy – in curated formats designed for trusting dialogue and collaborative action.
SUPPORTING BUSINESSES
Hoffnungsträger Verantwortungseigentum
We support companies on their journey towards responsible ownership, so that we can shape the future together.
Impact-Investments
Use charitable capital in an entrepreneurial way – for example, through growth financing for companies in sub-Saharan Africa that create jobs and combat poverty. Alternatively, individual loans to social enterprises (both for-profit and non-profit) are also possible.
Shaping the future
Liquid assets
Contribute liquid assets to your Giving Fund flexibly and tax-efficiently. Operate as if you had your own foundation, but without the complexity. This allows you to decouple the availability of funds from your charitable activities and professionally realise the causes close to your heart, both at home and abroad.
Non-liquid assets
We provide professional support for the endowment of (non-voting) company shares, property or other non-liquid assets into your Giving Fund. Please feel free to contact us at an early stage to ensure the arrangement is optimised for your needs.
Donations to Hoffnungshaus®
Donate to Hoffnungshaus® : Your support helps to provide language courses, social activities and educational programmes for children and young people at our locations, among other things.
Donations for global programmes
With your donation or sponsorship, you give new hope to children of prisoners and their families worldwide. Through education, mentoring and enabling them to build their own income, our programmes help to develop stable prospects for the future.
