Giving and Endowing

Shaping the Future Together

The TU Hamburg Foundation thrives on the commitment of its donors. Through their contributions, they make it possible to fulfil our mission – to realise excellent projects, support research, and strengthen the next generation of engineers in a sustainable way. Whether through research awards, the Deutschlandstipendium, or other funding programmes: on the following pages, you will learn more about current projects and the impact of your support.

Your Ways to Support Us

There are many ways to get involved: through a one-time or regular donation, by funding a specific project, by supporting one or more Deutschlandstipendien, or even by establishing an endowed professorship. Every contribution – large or small – helps to support talent and enable scientific innovation.

Becoming Visible Together

As a token of appreciation, the TU Hamburg Foundation recognises its supporters in a special way. From a certain level of contribution, your name will be listed on the TUHH Donor Wall – a visible sign of your connection to our university. In addition, we regularly invite you to exclusive Stifter & Friends events that offer inspiring insights and valuable networking opportunities – most recently, for example, a behind-the-scenes tour of the FC St. Pauli stadium. You also become part of the Assembly of Donors, the annual forum for exchange, collaboration, and shared vision.

An Investment in the Future

As a non-profit foundation, we will of course provide you with a donation receipt.

Contact Foundation Office

Our Foundation Office is your direct point of contact: it provides personal support to donors as well as to funded projects, answers questions, and ensures reliable and straightforward assistance.

If you are considering supporting the foundation, we are happy to advise you and answer any questions you may have.

Endowed Professorships

An endowed professorship makes it possible to establish new research areas and teaching priorities at TU Hamburg in a targeted manner.

There are currently four endowed professorships made possible through the commitment of our donors.

For donors, they offer the opportunity to sustainably support relevant research topics, provide impulses for innovation, and create a visible link between their engagement and the academic development at TU Hamburg.

In this way, they make a direct contribution to the future of science, industry, and society.
