DKSB Bundesverband

What DKSB Bundesverband does

DKSB Bundesverband (legal name: Der Kinderschutzbund Bundesverband e.V.) is a German non-profit welfare association headquartered in Berlin, founded in 1959 and registered as an eingetragener Verein (e.V.) at Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg under Registernummer 28063 B. The organization operates the Bündnis KINDERGRUNDSICHERUNG coalition, established in 2009, which comprises 20 member welfare organizations (including AWO, Diakonie, Caritas-adjacent groups, Save the Children, Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk, Sozialverband Deutschland, and others) and 12 named scientific supporters from institutions such as Humboldt-Universität, Hertie School, and Ludwig-Maximilian Universität München. Daniel Grein serves as Bundesgeschäftsführer (Federal Managing Director).

The organization's core product is policy advocacy: it produces concept papers (notably Konzept Kindergrundsicherung 2024), myth-busting documents, FAQs, position papers on child basic security in separation families and subsistence minimum redefinition, and press releases directed at the German federal government. The publicly accessible website kinderarmut-hat-folgen.de ("Child Poverty Has Consequences") serves as the primary communication channel for the coalition's advocacy on a universal Kindergrundsicherung (child basic security) reform.

The business model is that of a German registered welfare association: no commercial revenue, no pricing model, no paying customers, and no disclosed funding sources beyond typical e.V. mechanisms (member dues, donations, and grants). Operations are sustained through institutional coalition membership and volunteer scientific support. The organization has no subsidiaries, no disclosed headcount, no patents, no certifications, and no technology platform beyond the public advocacy website.
