Our Foundation
The Übersee-Club Foundation
At the end of 2025, the Presidium of the Übersee-Club decided to set up a foundation.
The establishment of this foundation is therefore intended to support the club, in particular with regard to investments in the near and distant future, so that it may continue to pursue its objectives. The foundation’s purpose – to raise funds to promote our club’s objectives – is achieved through the allocation of funds and the pursuit of specific charitable aims in consultation with the co-founder, such as the awarding of scholarships or prizes.
From an organisational point of view, the Übersee-Club Foundation is one of more than 400 foundations operating under the umbrella of the Haspa Hamburg Foundation. Not only can it accept monetary donations (just like the Club itself, as a charitable organisation), but, more importantly, it can also accept a wide range of other contributions, such as cash assets, securities or property, for example as part of an inheritance.
If you would like to contribute directly to the foundation’s funds online, you can simply follow these steps:
- Open your banking app and the built-in QR scanner option
- Scan the QR code below (alternatively, save it as a photo and upload it to the app)
-
- Recipient: Stiftung Der Übersee-Club // IBAN: DE80 2005 0550 1507 2821 74
-
- Enter the donation amount and, if you wish, your address. You will receive a donation receipt for amounts of 300 euros or more.
- Lastly, authorise the transfer in accordance with your bank’s instructions
The Foundation’s Executive Board
