Would you like to become a “repeat donor”? Your recurring donation enables us to plan for the medium to long term in our three core areas: “Infrastructure,” “Science and Research,” and “Science and Society.” This allows us to plan our projects more effectively and make the results accessible through our museums and programs. You decide whether to donate monthly, annually, or at another interval, and how long you’d like to support us with your donation. Of course, we’re also happy to work with you to determine how your donation can best be utilized.

At some point in everyone’s life, the time comes when we ask ourselves, “What will remain when I am gone?” This often happens during life-changing events, such as overcoming a serious illness, the birth of a child, or the death of a loved one. Many people get involved with organizations that align with their values. This commitment can continue even beyond their own lifetime. At Senckenberg, we are grateful if you identify with our values and reach out to us to discuss how you can use your will to support a “grandchild-friendly Earth” in accordance with your wishes. Please contact us.

Many of the items in our collections were donated by individuals who, over the course of decades, have shared their passion for science and natural specimens. These collections hold not only sentimental value for the collectors but also, in some cases, significant scientific value that we can incorporate into our research. With approximately 40 million items, we house the fifth-largest collection in the world. Since new additions to the collection continually open up new connections and research avenues, we would be delighted if your support helped us expand our collection with new items!
