Ein drittes Bündnisschiff
Die EU-Mitgliedsstaaten lassen weiter schutzsuchende Menschen an ihrer Außengrenze sterben. Also machen auch wir weiter! Gemeinsam mit Sea-Watch und vielen Unterstützer:innen schicken wir ein neues, drittes Bündnisschiff für die Seenotrettung ins Mittelmeer – die Sea-Watch 5.
Spende jetzt für unser drittes Bündnisschiff!

What is the advantage of donating to United4Rescue?
With a donation to United4Rescue you help sea rescue where money is needed most urgently. For example, for the purchase and conversion of rescue vessels, for equipment or deployment costs. United4Rescue helps across organisations and unbureaucratically, but always checks the feasibility and professionalism of funding requests. So you can be sure: Your donation helps to save lives in distress at sea.
What are the advantages of a regular donation and how does a permanent donation differ from a supporting membership?
With a regular donation, whether a permanent donation or a supporting membership, you ensure that the funding of United4Rescue is predictable and secure. If you choose to become a supporting member, you will be part of our annual meeting at which we discuss the current situation in the Mediterranean and present United4Rescue's annual report.
When and how do I receive a donation receipt?
You will receive your donation receipt in February of the following year as an annual donation receipt. We need your address for this! To save costs and the environment, we also send donation receipts by e-mail as a PDF document. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us: .
Amounts up to € 300 can also be claimed from the German tax office with this "simplified proof of donation" (German version). Simply submit this with proof of transfer, for example your bank statement.
Can forwarded donations from third parties receive their own donation receipt?
Unfortunately, not. Donation receipts may only be issued for the person or organisation that transferred the donation. Only those who donate themselves can receive a donation receipt. Please draw attention to this if, for example, you are collecting donations in a circle of friends.
How can I help without money?
You can help us a lot by spreading the word about our cause! Talk to friends and family about civilian rescue at sea, follow us on social media or start your own fundraising campaign, e.g. in your sports club or church community. You can find more information and material here.
