Donating instead of gift-giving

Letting special occasions benefit good causes

There are special occasions in life when we share moments of joy or sadness with others, be it friends, family or clients. Instead of asking for presents or flowers, you can make your celebration even more meaningful by asking your guests to donate to special projects at the University of Münster. In this way, you can make a long-term contribution to promoting the development of our society through research and education.

Give a special gift: A Botanical Garden sponsorship

If you’re looking for an original gift, then dedicate a Botanical Garden sponsorship in someone’s name. Combine this with your favourite plant, the name of the plant or the year in which it was planted. Dedicate your gift to a loved one as an annual sponsorship or for an unlimited period of time. At the same time you help us preserve rare plants and endangered species so that we can continue presenting these to the public.

“For my birthday, instead of presents I asked for donations to help talented, ambitious, young people. In this way I gave the party a future-oriented meaning and did something good for the education of the next generation. The number of donors and the amount they donated was very impressive, and I think it’s fabulous that my birthday party was an opportunity to shape the future and benefit the educational ambitions of the younger generation.”
