In contrast to a donation, which Bethel uses promptly for the intended project, an endowment is added to the foundation's assets and invested securely. This gradually increases the financial security of our work, because nobody is allowed to touch the foundation's assets; we can only cover our expenses from the interest earned. If the foundation's assets continue to grow, we achieve better returns year after year – and can use them for the good causes of the v. Bodelschwingh Foundation Bethel, exactly where they are urgently needed.
