‘We are involved in the #TrustMakesImpact initiative because it is a driving force for the future of foundations.’ Dr. Maja Pflüger, Head of strategic implementation and funding management

#VertrauenMachtWirkung (TrustMakesImpact) is an initiative founded in 2019 by foundations that aims to change thinking and approaches in foundation work.

The underlying belief is that foundations of the future advocate for diversity, participation, and transformation, both internally and within society. To achieve this, #VertrauenMachtWirkung collaborates closely with representatives of foundations, sparks nationwide debates, and advocates for the joint redefinition of values and objectives.

Since its founding by Ulrike Crespo, the Crespo Foundation has been committed to the (cultural) participation of all and the development of structures that enable it. We are excited to now collaborate even more strongly within the framework of #VertrauenMachtWirkung.
