What RAA Sachsen E.V. does

RAA Sachsen e.V. (Regionale Arbeitsstellen und Angebote für Bildung, Beratung und Demokratie e.V.) is a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1991 and headquartered at Bautzner Straße 45/47 in Dresden, Germany. Operating under the tagline "vielfältig - demokratisch - verlässlich" (diverse, democratic, reliable), the organization runs a portfolio of community programs rather than a unified technology product. Its offerings include Helpline Sachsen (support for victims of right-wing, racist, and anti-Semitic violence), Bündnis gegen Antisemitismus (anti-Semitism alliance), PeerLeadership Sachsen (youth leadership), tvBUNT (Bautzen democracy network), Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage (school program), Sachsen 2030 (future-of-society research), OFFEN (intercultural competency training for firefighters), and the Mehrgenerationenhaus Bernsdorf (multi-generational community center). Its target beneficiaries are civil society organizations, victims of politically motivated violence, schools, fire departments, and local communities across Saxony.

The technological footprint is deliberately minimalist and privacy-preserving: self-hosted Matomo analytics, PGP-encrypted email, Zoom with EU-hosted servers, and a vendor stack anchored by Neuedev IT, Verein Immerda (Switzerland), and the Dresden-based Afeefa Kollektiv. The organization is governed by a three-member Vorstand (Helga Nickich, Robert Kusche, Timo Reinfrank) and three managing directors (Maren Düsberg, Andrea Hübler, Silvio Thieme), with a dedicated data protection officer (Michael Hengstler). No commercial revenue, IPO, or external fundraising rounds are present; the entity is funded through donations, membership fees, and — by strong inference from the German civic-association landscape — public project grants, with services offered free of charge to beneficiaries.

• Exit-Deutschland: Berlin-based program supporting exit from right-wing extremist milieus and providing civic education; comparable anti-extremism mandate though narrower programmatic focus than RAA Sachsen.
