V Social Foundation started operating in 2001 under the name of viSozial by an initiative of members of the tour operator Viventura (https://www.viventura.de/). viSozial e.V. was officially founded in 2005 to work independently and effectively. In 2008 our NGO received the recognition of charitable status from the responsible tax office and fiscal authorities in Germany. 
In 2016 we changed the focus of our statute together with a rebranding. Since 2017 V Social Foundation exclusively supports community projects worldwide. The Foundation wants to help communities to develop a sustainable community strategy and/or supporting them e.g. financially in different aspects (official guide trainings, etc). The aim is to help projects to benefit from sustainable tourism. Therefore, we do not only support with money, more important in the knowledge transfer. 
We only support communities that want to establish sustainable tourism in their community by self-motivation. 

Our mission:
We create powerful connections between people and their territories to foster the autonomy and well-being of communities.

Our promises:
 
Impact
Every cent of your donation counts. Which is why we only select projects where your donation can have a significant impact on the community's development.

Transparency
Follow the money. Find out exactly how your donation is used. You can even visit community projects for yourself and see how your donation directly benefits the community. 

Connection
Join the movement. Become part of the VSocial community, choose a project to support, receive regular progress reports, and take part in defining objectives.

Autonomy
The community decides. We support communities in finding their own sustainable solutions, so that they remain self-determining and can thrive long into the future.
