GLS Treuhand is a non-profit association. One one hand it promotes innovative and charitable projects of civil society. On the other hand it supports people who want to make a meaningful impact with endowments, donations and inheritances. Networking these groups with each other enables new initiatives for the common good. As a foundation administrator, GLS Treuhand has been supporting, advising and managing donors with foundations and endowment funds for 60 years. Every year, around 900 projects with around 19 million euros in funding are made possible in this way. With this "culture of giving", GLS Treuhand is committed to an active, democratic and open society. The impetus for the founding of GLS Bank in 1974 also came from its ranks, still working under the same roof today.
