Transparent Civil Society Initiative
The Transparent Civil Society Initiative (ITZ) promotes additional information that organisations that have joined the ITZ offer voluntarily and that goes beyond the statutory disclosure requirements for civil society organisations in Germany. To this end, the ITZ provides a framework for basic transparency in non-profit organisations. The requirements are deliberately kept low so that small and medium-sized organisations in particular can meet them without significant additional effort.
