Mag. Laurenz Limberg, B.A.
» Bei all dem Leid und der Ungerechtigkeit die passiert, ist es wichtig nicht zu vergessen, dass wir nicht tatenlos zuschauen müssen sondern einen kleinen, individuellen Beitrag leisten können, um nachhaltig eine Veränderung zu erwirken. Zu wissen, dass diesen Kindern nicht geholfen wird, wenn wir es nicht tun ist mein täglicher Antrieb in dieser Organisation.«

Mag. Gregor Roesler-Schmidt, M.A., MBA
» Kinder die unter gefährlichen Bedingungen täglich kämpfen, um sich ernähren zu können oder Erbschulden die über viele Generationen weitergegeben werden, zeigen mir die Notwendigkeit auf die Ungleichheit der Welt ein wenig zu verändern. Nichts zu tun beim Wissen um diese Kinder wäre falsch. «

Ing. Gregor Waltner, M.A., MRICS
» Der Gedanke, dass meine Spende größtenteils im Werbebudget oder Verwaltungsapparat großer Hilfsorganisationen versickert, ließ mich daran zweifeln, dass meine Spende tatsächlich etwas verändert. Auch kleinere Organisationen entsprachen bei näherem Hinsehen aus unterschiedlichsten Gründen nicht meinen Vorstellungen. Durch die „Bundesstiftung Mein Beitrag“ ist es nun mir und vielen anderen möglich, mit einem Lächeln zu spenden. «
