As Germany’s largest private funding organisation, Aktion Mensch has for the past 46 years striven
to foster a society in which the notion of we and us is paramount. In cooperation with its member associations (Germany’s six biggest private welfare organisations and television broadcaster ZDF), it supports people with disabilities along with disadvantaged adults, teenagers, and children. 
Aktion Mensch supports over 1,000 projects in Germany run by independent charitable organisations every month. Its educational and information work fosters debate and encourages people to take up voluntary work. This is all funded by revenue from the Aktion Mensch lottery, which regularly attracts some 4.6 million players.
