Sustainable Finance

Financial decisions play an important role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Where money is invested, saved, or spent can support progress on goals such as climate action, clean energy, decent work, and reduced inequalities. Thoughtful financial choices—by individuals, institutions, and businesses alike—can help accelerate solutions to global challenges while promoting a more resilient and inclusive economy. Below you find some options on how to contribute to the SDGs with financial means.

Donations: Direct Giving & Donation Platforms

Direct giving means supporting individuals directly without intermediaries. This form of giving does usually not involve a return of your donation. By cutting out middle layers, donations can flow more directly to the organizations and communities working on issues such as education, health, climate action, and social inclusion, helping ensure that a larger share of the contribution is used for actual impact. This form of giving can also empower to decide more directly where funds should be used.

Donation platforms may offer different ways of donations and empower donors by offering an easy overview over donation possibilities.
