About us
We come from a wide variety of professional backgrounds - but we all have one thing in common: we are passionate about science and research!
We enjoy supporting scientists and researchers in discovering new things, developing things and uncovering the secrets of nature. In this way, we want to make our contribution to finding solutions to the pressing issues facing humanity with new knowledge, new insights and new technologies. This requires financial leeway in order to be able to react quickly to changing conditions. This is precisely where we see our strength: we bring committed people from society together with our scientists and researchers.
The TUM Fundraising Team is pleased that you are interested in supporting the Technical University of Munich. - Scholarships? Endowed chair? A building for childcare? Or something completely different? - There are many ways to support TUM! "Donation", "endowment", "legacy", "sponsoring" - there are many terms that come up again and again - we will be happy to explain the differences to you. Your commitment is appreciated! We will be happy to help you find the right project for you and implement your sponsorship effectively.

Our experience - for your commitment
For over 25 years our team has been supporting motivated people, companies and foundations on their way to getting involved in science and research and the TUM community. In the process, a wide variety of projects and initiatives have been launched. Whether it is the promotion of scientific talent or the establishment of endowed chairs, the construction of children's homes that enable our students and employees to have their families looked after or the creation of very special teaching and learning locations... The list of projects that we have been able to carry out together with the donors is long. We would be happy to use our experience to support your project at TUM.
