Tchibo & donations: About giving and taking

Tchibo and donations? - Yes! Whether through monetary donations or product donations such as blankets, warm jackets and underwear for people in need Tchibo makes a difference with its help. Donation campaigns such as the "Christmas Miracle" bring a smile to children's faces in December. Above all, Tchibo strengthens the community in Hamburg through its cooperation with organisations such as Hamburger Tafel and Hanseatic Help.

A look behind the scenes: donations at Tchibo

Our guest in the new episode of "5 cups a day" is Monika Focks, Tchibo expert for donation management as part of the Corporate Citizenship Programme. She shows us everything about donations at Tchibo. Here you will have the opportunity to gain an insight into the company's donation management and learn about special campaigns such as the "Christmas Miracle". Find out how Tchibo perceives social commitment and what challenges and solutions there are in donation management.

We talk about: 

  • Tchibo and our social commitment - how great is the need in Germany?
  • Partnership at eye level with selected charitable organisations: Hamburger Tafel, Hanseatic Help, the German Red Cross, Innatura and Der Hafen hilft!
  • How Tchibo helps people with donations of money and products such as blankets, home textiles, warm jackets and underwear
  • The challenges and solutions in donation management (for example the need for needs-based donations and the VAT that applies to coffee donations)
  • Our principle is: everyone does what they can, like the "Christmas miracle", in which Tchibo employees fulfil Christmas wishes for children of Hamburger Tafel customers every year

Donations bring people together. - Monika Focks

Of course, you can and should get involved all year round and not just at Christmas, e.g. by donating your coffee.  

Anyone can make a contribution by donating time, money or goods. Donations are of course always voluntary!
