Breaking down barriers for civil society
We are a Germany-based fiscal host, empowering members of civil society working at the intersection of tech and social justice, by taking care of their operations and finances as they evolve.
What we do
We offer the following core services as a fiscal host. We are registered in Germany but able to work worldwide, subject to political context and availability. When we say ‘hosted projects’, we mean individuals or teams who choose to trust us with their funds.
Non-profit status
interalia is registered as a gGmbH in Germany, with 501(c)3 equivalency in the United States, which allows hosted projects to access funds from foundations and donations.
Grants management
We administer all grant agreements – which means we sign contracts on your behalf, and take on legal responsibility for what's in the grant – and support you with reporting.
Financial management
We track and monitor revenues and expenditures, provide regular financial reporting and offer policies and practices to ensure projects have solid oversight over their financial health.
Human resources management
We can offer employment to project members based in Germany, and we take care of contracting for project members based elsewhere.
Operational & organisational resources
We collate values-aligned policies and practices, to support you as you're building your team or project.
How we work
Our approach to fiscal hosting is built on a foundation of trust, collaboration, and adaptability. We pride ourselves on understanding the unique needs of each project we support, ensuring that our methods are as effective as they are compassionate.
Reliable
We are operations and finance professionals, bringing decades of experience to fiscal hosting. We aim to be timely and reliable in the services and support we provide.
Creative
Where others might shy away, we are excited by tricky bureaucratic problems, and we see these as a puzzle to be solved in collaboration with our hosted partners.
Caring
We know that administration and bureaucracy can often be scary and intimidating. We believe that problems shared are problems halved: we are here to talk through any issues without judgement.
Collaborative
There’s no one-size-fits-all, because different people have different needs. We work with our projects to ensure that they get what they need to be able to carry out impactful work.
Accountable
We are grateful for feedback and input that helps us improve what we do and how we do it – we offer various pathways for holding us accountable and offering us feedback.
Our services
As a small, boutique-style fiscal host, we offer standard fiscal host services, in a values-aligned way. We’re also very open to hearing about your financial or operational needs, so get in touch if you think we might be able to help. We take a standard 10% overhead from projects to support our own staff and technical and operational infrastructure.
