history

The Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin Foundation was founded in 1974. The basis for this establishment is the DKLB law of June 7, 1974. It came into force on January 1, 1975. With the establishment of the foundation, in particular, fixed framework conditions for the donation business should be created. The goal was u. a. to enable the foundation to build up its own assets and thus make the donations more variable. Before the foundation was established, the DKLB's surpluses were distributed by the advisory board. The advisory board was an organ of the DKLB with the task of distributing the surpluses from the lottery business for charitable purposes. In his function he was on an equal footing with today's board of trustees. As early as the beginning of the 1970s, three people appointed by the Senate and elected by the House of Representatives were included in the Advisory Board. Since then, the foundation has managed and distributed the funds available to it in accordance with Section 6 of the DKLB Act. It pursues charitable purposes and exclusively promotes social, charitable, environmental protection, cultural, civic, youth-promoting and sporting projects by granting grants. A statute was issued for the foundation on March 4, 1975 in accordance with Section 16 of the DKLB Act. It contains more detailed provisions on the use and distribution of the funds made available by the DKLB to the foundation on the basis of the legal basis.
