Clifford Chance donates €39,164 to charitable organisations

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 11:45:00 GMT

This year, the Frankfurt office is supporting the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer. The foundation was established by parents of affected children who know from their own experience what a cancer diagnosis means for the whole family. Its mission is to further improve the chances of recovery for children and young people with cancer through targeted cutting-edge research. Today, more than 60 scientists work on new therapeutic approaches under state-of-the-art conditions at the foundation's own Dr. Petra Joh-House. Since childhood cancer is mostly genetic and differs greatly from adult cancer, specialised research is particularly important. Many crucial areas of research are only possible thanks to donations, as funding alone cannot cover the high running costs.

This year, donations from the Munich office will go to the Munich Children's Hospice (AKM). Since 2004, the AKM has been supporting families with terminally or critically ill children, adolescents and young adults – from the moment of diagnosis and far beyond. A multi-professional team is supported by around 320 volunteers. True to the motto ‘Not giving life more days, but giving days more life’, the AKM provides the affected families with support, relief and moments of comfort, security and normality during a particularly difficult time.

The Clifford Chance office in Düsseldorf is supporting two organisations with its donation this year:

The association Tiertafel Düsseldorf e.V. supports people who, for financial reasons, are no longer able to adequately care for the health and welfare of their pets. Especially in difficult life situations such as illness, poverty in old age or homelessness, no one should be forced to part with their animal companion. The aim is to maintain this special bond even in times of hardship and to provide concrete help. The association's work is carried out entirely on a voluntary basis and is made possible exclusively by monetary and material donations from companies and private supporters.

The local project Hallo Nachbar! helps people in the immediate neighbourhood who, due to loneliness, illness or financial hardship, are no longer able to visit authorities or social services on their own and thus fall through the cracks of local support services. The volunteers, most of whom are unpaid, accompany them, visit them at home and open up access to support services in their neighbourhood. In acute and emergency situations, they also provide those in need with donations in kind or financial assistance as temporary support, for example to avert impending homelessness.

Dr. Moritz Keller, Pro Bono and Responsible Business Partner at Clifford Chance in Germany: ‘I am delighted that we are once again able to support organisations that help people overcome difficult life situations in a variety of ways. The selected projects provide valuable assistance in a wide range of areas and show how much can be achieved when commitment is directed where it is really needed.’

Clifford Chance is committed to responsible business and is involved in charitable and social projects worldwide. In Germany, the firm supports the Crespo Foundation with its ‘SABA’ scholarship and the Child Protection Association in Frankfurt am Main, among others. You can find out more about this commitment on the Clifford Chance website.

Terry Yang, partner at Clifford Chance, commented: "This recognition by the PBOC marks a major milestone for global market participants. It provides legal certainty for cross-border repo transactions and reinforces Hong Kong’s role as a gateway to China’s financial markets."
