Handling of donations
Anyone who spends money wants it to be well spent. This applies in particular to donations. ARCHEMED is a reputable aid organisation for children in need. We aim to prove our trustworthiness with the help of voluntarily installed codes and guidelines.
ARCHEMED is a registered non-profit organisation with the Soest tax office, and is exempt from corporate and trade tax and is entitled to issue donation receipts. This means that you can claim your donations as special expenses. You can find our current notice of exemption here.

Use of funds 2023
The statutory objective of ARCHEMED is to provide medical and humanitarian aid to children in crisis areas and to develop a medical infrastructure as a prerequisite for this. In 2023, around 90% of all expenses are attributable to the statutory programme work of our volunteer project participants. In total, almost 300 trips have been carried out in 2023, of which about two-thirds are in the purely medical field and one-third in the infrastructure field. In total, this amounts to almost 3,000 days of deployment in the partner countries.
Expenditure on advertising and public relations, as well as administration (in this case, primarily storage and logistics), together account for almost 10% of all payments made. If the economic (monetary) value of the volunteer work performed is taken into account and compared to the programme expenses, the share of advertising and administrative costs within the expenditure structure would decrease even further.
- Programme outputs: 1.811.513 € 90,1%
- Advertising & Public Relations: 95.072 € 4,7%
- Administration: 103.428 € 5,1%
Total amount: 2.010.013 €
