Project support from photos purchased in our gallery
Our photographers support our projects with at least 30% of their revenue. However, many of our artists donate a higher percentage, even up to 100%. In addition, Photocircle also supports each project with 6% of the net sales price. Because of this, project support can vary between 10% and 50% of the total sales price.
Project support when printing customs photos
When you print your custom photos at our photo lab, Photocircle will support the social project you have selected with 6% of the net sales price. For us, it is important you know the donation is deducted from our revenue and not put on top of the price. This is because we are committed to doing good while still offering you premium quality products at fair prices.

We want you to know what's happening with your money
We're all about the checks and balances - and who'd be better suited for that job than our customers, artists and partner organizations? Here's how they do it:
Everyone can see what part of a project has already been funded and how much money is still needed. You choose which project you would like to support and you can also suggest new projects. If you would like to do so, please write us an email to change@photocircle.net.
Once a project is completely financed, we will transfer 100% of the money to the non-profit organization behind the project. We cover any transaction fees ourselves.
Project reports and photos from our partner organizations are published on our blog and we send newsletters to inform you about the progress.
Our partner organizations' finance departments can check our books whenever they wish to do so.
Still not convinced? Please feel free to contact us or drop by our gallery in Berlin any time. You are always welcome!
Partner Organizations
Once one of our projects is 100% financed we transfer the whole amount to our project partners.
