About Frankfurt
How Frankfurt helps — and how you can take part
Frankfurt's role as Germany's financial and infrastructural centre is matched by an unusually international civic landscape. Organisations supporting refugees, language education and social inclusion are particularly visible, alongside the city's larger welfare institutions.
If you live in or commute to Frankfurt, there are practical ways to help — volunteer with a neighbourhood initiative, donate to a listed local organisation or contribute legal, financial or language skills pro bono.
Each opportunity listed here links directly to the organisation behind it. We don't take donations, we don't take commissions and we don't run programmes — we only make local ways to help easier to find.

How often are opportunities updated?+
The directory refreshes daily from our sources. New opportunities appear within 24 hours of being published on the source platform; listings that are removed or expired are filtered out automatically.
