Frequently Asked Questions/FAQ

How do I create my own project?/How can I participate as a club or organization?
You can register as an organization free of charge. You will be automatically guided through the project creation process step by step. You can find out what information we request from you during the project creation process here
Do I have to register again for each action?
No, a one-time registration as an organization is also sufficient for future actions. Log in with your existing user data and create a new project for a new action.
When I try to log in, I get the message "This account is inactive.". What does this mean?
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email from us with a link that you must use to activate your user account. If the user account is not activated via this link, the user account will be deactivated after 7 days. In this case, please contact our Support (foerderprogramme@hausdesstiftens.org)
Which organizations can participate?
All nominated organizations must be based in Germany and be in possession of a valid non-profit certificate issued by a German tax office. This will be checked by Haus des Stiftens as part of the validation process. - Organizations based exclusively abroad that do not have the points listed under 4. are excluded from participation in Restcent.
When does the campaign start: Timeline of the three phases?
Restcent 2024 began with the first phase, project submission, on March 15. Until 1 March, all SAP employees in Germany have the opportunity to invite organizations, have them validated and submit a project. From March 4 to March 15, the projects will be evaluated by the selection committee and a shortlist of projects will be drawn up for voting. From March 18 to March 22, all SAP employees who participate in Restcent can then vote for their favorite projects.
When will the winners be notified? (When exactly will we send out the prize notifications?)
The winners will be announced on March 26. The money will be paid out from April 1.
Who pays out the donation?
We pass on the customer donations collected from our branches to Haus des Stiftens, which transfers the corresponding amount to you each month. Your bank details from the registration process are used for this.
As a recipient organization, do I have to issue a donation receipt/ donation receipt (ZWB)?
No, if the transfer comes from the Haus des Stiftens, no donation receipts may be issued to the campaign owners (SAP) for the funds received. You do not have to issue a donation receipt to the Haus des Stiftens as the remitter.
