Transparency is important to us for our work, for the cause we stand for and for the people who support us.
There are no uniform publication requirements for non-profit organizations in Hungary. We want to make ourselves and our work transparent on a voluntary basis. Because: In our opinion, anyone who works for the common good should tell the community what goals he and his organization are striving for, where the funds come from, how they are used and who the decision-makers are.
We compiled the following information in line with the guideline “Initiative Transparente Zivilgesellschaft” (Transparent Civil Society Initiative) of Transparency International Deutschland e.V.. For more information please visit their website. (in German language)
