German philanthropy refers to the tradition of charitable giving and social responsibility in Germany. It encompasses various forms of support, including donations, volunteering, and funding for social projects. Many organizations, such as Stiftung Deutsche Klassenlotterie, play a significant role in promoting social welfare and cultural initiatives. In recent years, German philanthropy has evolved to address contemporary issues like climate change, education, and social inequality. Notable figures, such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, have historically contributed to this culture of giving, influencing modern philanthropic practices and encouraging individuals and corporations to engage in social causes.
