It's going to be big with you
More than 600 repairs in the first year - more with your donation! This will help to secure our first location in Gropiusstadt - and make it possible for even more repair locations to be created. While we receive project funding for individual projects such as our Repair Academy, which will be launched in fall 2026, we are dependent on membership fees and donations for our ongoing operations.
+++ SPECIAL +++
Through September 15, all donations will be matched—that is, doubled—by a major donor. That means if you donate €50, we’ll receive €100. The campaign ends once we reach a total of €100,000—but we can do it, right?
By the way: As a non-profit organization, we can issue a donation receipt so that your donation is tax-deductible. You can request a donation receipt at the end of the donation form below.

What your donation does
100 % of every donation goes towards our first location in Berlin's Gropiusstadt district. Here are a few examples of what your donation makes possible: With a one-off donation of 50 € we pay our electricity bill for one month. One monthly donation of 30 € is covered by our liability insurance and with a monthly donation of 80 € you finance the expense allowance for one of our volunteer neighbors. As you can see, regular donations ensure planning security and help us the most!
No moss, no action
If you’re wondering what our ongoing expenses are at our first location, here’s the answer. Even though our work is primarily carried out by volunteers from the neighborhood, it has been important to us from the very beginning to value their commitment and the time they contribute. Along with personnel costs for a coordination office, these are our largest monthly expenses—but they directly benefit the neighborhood and provide a little more financial breathing room for people with low incomes.
Another large part is rent with operating costs and electricity - the premises in a central location are important for visibility and so that we can really make repairs accessible to everyone.
