Contributions

Our work is voluntary and the members and the board work with conviction in their free time for the Atlantic Community. Because costs arise, we are dependent on large and small donations for our work. We are happy to issue donation receipts in accordance with German tax law.

Following supporters provided financial contributions for projects of Atlantic Community from 2011-2016

The NGO Atlantische Initiative e.V. established the atlantic-community.org website in 2006-2007 with a grant from the Transatlantic Program of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany through funds of the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

In 2015 we have received funding from IBM Germany for this project, a donation from UPS and a grant from the US Embassy Berlin for TTIP Review.

We welcome financial contributions to develop topics related to our aims and objectives which are of current debate and interest for our public. We reserve the right to refuse any proposal which is not in line with our mandate and supported by the Executive Board. We are an independent and objective organisation giving space to new and young voices. For more information see our governance rules.

Governance Rules and Disclosure of Funding Sources

Atlantic-community.org publishes articles on a wide range of transatlantic policy issues from many opponents, critics, and supporters.  The Atlantische Initiative, publisher of atlantic-community.org, occasionally accepts funding for these projects (e.g. theme weeks) from various branches of government and private sector organizations.

If we accept funding, we declare the sponsorship on the appropriate page of our website. All contributors and future donors have to acknowledge Atlantic Community’s editorial independence, and subscribe to an agreement that they will not seek to unduly influence coverage on the Atlantic Community platform.

The editorial team will never favor sponsors in any way whatsoever! The editorial team moderates the debate without taking a position. Published participants in the forum must use evidence-based arguments and all parties, whether authors or commentators, must agree to adhere to the site’s code of conduct.
