Donation projects at EVIM – Empowering fellow human beings


Whether it's a rock band for people with disabilities, music therapy for people with dementia, inclusive theater projects, or help for young people in crisis: your donation makes special programs possible that touch, move, and connect people. EVIM creates spaces for participation, encounter, and development – where government funding is insufficient.

We say thank you

We firmly believe in the value of what we offer. However, without the generous and tireless support of our donors, we would not be able to do what we do. It gives us a good feeling to know that you are on our side. 

It is often difficult to say whether we are successful, but we still want to be there and do our best every day. It encourages us and fills us with gratitude that you are accompanying us on this journey.
