About Us
The founder of the Jemal Nebez Foundation, Dr. Hannelore Küchler, left the entire estate of Jemal Nebez to the Foundation. The assets of Jemal Nebez, which flowed into the Foundation, were increased in comparable value by her own funds.
This is a foundation which set up by and for Kurds.
The Foundation has two properties in Berlin Wilmersdorf: a condominium that is currently rented out and brings in an income for the foundation, and a non-residential property with an office, meeting room and the Jemal Nebez Library.
The notarial certification of the assets, with the preamble/charter of the Foundation, was done at the notary’s office and signed by founder Dr. Hannelore Küchler on March 20, 2020. The preamble and the statutes of the Jemal Nebez Foundation can here be viewed online.
The purpose of the Jemal Nebez Foundation is the promotion of science and research, popular education, and vocational training and the art and culture of the Kurds, be it in Kurdistan or aroud the world, in the current context or concerning their history.
A legally responsible non-profit organization
With its limited resources, the Foundation can pay its current expenses, but cannot employ staff. It can support research projects, but cannot finance them from its own funds. Rather, it relies on voluntary work and on donations or other benefits. Anyone who is subject to tax assessment in Germany can take advantage of tax benefits, based on the donations made to the Foundation. As it has a non-profit status, the foundation is able to issue donation receipts. The Deutsche Bank account number and our IBAN for donations can be found in the Impressum or Legal notice.
