Nonprofit Law: Alternative Financing

It is increasingly difficult for charitable organizations (like it is for medium-sized companies) to finance their projects by obtaining a loan from a bank. Banks today connect their loan policies more and more to risk expectations as expected of their individual customers which are usually calculated according to certain internal customer ratings. This leads to an increase of costs for financing certain charitable projects or, even worse, to a situation that a certain charitable project cannot be financed at all with bank loans. Medium-sized companies usually react to this problem by using alternative, more innovative forms of financing.

We are convinced that also charitable organizations can profit from such alternative forms of financing. In cooperation with our partners, we offer our charitable clients a varied list of alternative ways of financing. Such possible alternatives include the more classical approaches like factoring and leasing, but also more innovative means of financing. We focus our services on providing you with individual solutions that cover every aspect of your charitable projects.

Since ever, WINHELLER Attorneys at Law have offered advice on alternatives to the charitable sector how to best fundraise and finance their charitable projects.
