Membership
The non-profit association (Kunstverein) soft power e.V. was founded on 23.4.2021. Since the start of the non-profit organisation we are continuously reflecting on questions around institution building, programming, and how we want to work with each other and with others – this includes the growing community of members that have joined soft power e.V. and thus joined us on this collective journey.
Members support soft power with an annual membership fee (50€/100€). They receive regular updates about our programme, prior access to events with limited capacity, editions for a reduced price, as well as exchange with others at members’ events. Institutions and legal entities can also become part of soft power in the form of an institutional supporting membership (500€ per year).
As a registered non-profit association, soft power e.V. exclusively and directly pursues non-profit purposes, which can be reviewed in our association statutes.

Payment of membership fee
Membership fees are payable for one calendar year. The agreed membership fee shall be paid annually by January 1 (by bank transfer or SEPA direct debit). For new members, the first payment is made by the last day of the following month of joining. Unless cancelled, the membership is automatically renewed at the beginning of a new calendar year. Upon request, we can issue annual donation receipts for membership fees or one-time donation payments.
By selecting SEPA direct debit as a payment option, the association soft power e.V. is authorized to collect payments from the specified account by means of SEPA direct debit. With the signature it is confirmed that the own credit institution is instructed to honor the direct debits drawn on the account by soft power e.V.. Within eight weeks, starting with the debit date, the refund of the debited amount can be requested, the conditions agreed with the credit institution apply.
Use of the membership fees and contributions
The association is selflessly active and does not pursue its own economic purposes; all holders of association mandates work on a voluntary basis. The members' contributions are used for the running costs of the association (e.g. rental costs for the premises) and partly as project funds. The use of the membership fees is transparently presented to the members at the annual general meeting.
End of the membership
Withdrawal of the membership can be made without giving reasons with immediate effect by written declaration to the board of the association.
