Whether you are a hobby singer, school or church choir: singing, making music and doing good at the same time is fun. Let a singer, choir or music club support you. Throw the lyrics of well-known songs on the wall and sing together. At the end of the sing-along concert, pass around a donation box for a Misereor project of your choice. These are powerful sounds!

Questions about the fundraising campaign
At Misereor, we naturally handle donations carefully and effectively. We make this transparent in our annual report: in 2022, advertising and administrative costs accounted for only 6.2% of our expenditure. 93.8% was used for project and educational work. The German Central Institute for Social Issues (DZI) classifies Misereor as an organisation with low administrative costs.
Our local partners know the situation on the ground inside out and support the self-help of the people affected. Misereor accompanies and advises the projects from start to finish and ensures that the funds are properly utilised.
You are welcome to use the campaign logo together with the donation account for your own flyers, self-designed posters, announcements and also your website.
You can download the campaign logo under "Further materials for the campaign"

It is also advisable to draw attention to the purpose of the donation and Misereor before and after the event. If you have any questions about Misereor as an organisation, you are welcome to distribute or display the Misereor flyer.
Misereor cannot issue a donation receipt for a collective donation. Should individual donors wish to receive a donation receipt, Misereor requires the full contact details of the donor, including the amount of the donation. These contact details with donation amounts can be sent together in an e-mail to aktionen@misereor.de.
How does Misereor support our campaign?
We are happy to provide free campaign material for your event in favour of Misereor. The material can be ordered via the campaign hotline 0241 / 479 86 - 400.
For general enquiries about the work of Misereor or the "Starke Töne" campaign, you are welcome to send an e-mail to aktionen@misereor.de.
We ask all organisers to use Misereor material only for campaigns that also benefit Misereor projects.
General donations enable us to react quickly in emergency situations and use the funds where they are urgently needed. Of course, you can also choose a special donation project.
Yes, with pleasure. In order to draw attention to our campaigns and to honour your commitment to Misereor and its project partners, we are happy to use videos and photos of groups that work specifically with our materials. If you have taken meaningful videos or photos during your campaign, we would be very pleased to receive them. In order to protect the personal rights of the persons depicted, we ask you to obtain permission to use the recordings for Misereor's information and public relations work. You can send the videos or photos of your event to aktionen@misereor.de.
If you ask for admission to your event in the form of a donation, you will be charged your own GEMA fees. The GEMA fee is calculated according to the amount of the entrance fee and the size of the room (measured in square metres from wall to wall). The event must be registered with GEMA in advance and on time. Current information sheets and information on this can be found at www.gema.de
However, there is a regulation with the Catholic Church, for example, which pays a flat rate to GEMA for certain music uses. For example, music performances at events, including light music if applicable, at which the church - including its diocesan and supra-diocesan institutions and facilities - is the sole organiser, performs in its own name and for its own account and for which no admission fee or other contribution towards expenses is charged and which are not predominantly associated with dancing, are covered by the flat-rate contract. Information on this is available from the WGKD, the economic organisation of the churches on the Internet.
