August Macke House Museum Foundation

Preserving art – shaping the future.

The Museum August Macke Haus Förderstiftung (Museum August Macke Haus Support Foundation) aims exclusively to provide financial support for the operation of the Museum August Macke Haus. It serves to preserve the unique cultural heritage of one of the most important representatives of (Rhenish) Expressionism, while also creating space for modern and contemporary art and cultural education.

The endowment fund forms the financial foundation for the museum's sustainable future. It enables key tasks such as the maintenance and presentation of the collection, the organisation of important special exhibitions and the provision of art education for children, young people and adults to be secured in the long term.

With your commitment as a donor, you are helping to keep August Macke's cultural heritage alive and at the same time providing new impetus for the present.

The endowment fund strengthens our museum in the long term – independently of short-term funding. Every contribution, whether large or small, whether during your lifetime or as a bequest, has a long-term impact.

Tax advantages of a foundation contribution

A commitment that pays off – for you and for art. 
Your donation to the Museum August Macke Haus Förderstiftung is tax-deductible, meaning you can claim your commitment as a tax reduction:

  • Endowments become part of the foundation's assets. They can be claimed for tax purposes up to a total amount of €1 million (€2 million for married couples) – spread over up to ten years.
  • Asset transfers to the foundation fund (donations, inheritances, bequests) are completely exempt from inheritance and gift tax. This also applies retroactively to inheritances that have already been taxed within a two-year period.
