FAQs about the EYOA Friends
Can I claim my contributions against tax?
Yes, as a gGmbH, the EYOA is a special form of limited liability company (GmbH) that pursues exclusively and directly charitable and benevolent purposes.
In Germany, for example, you can claim your contributions against tax.
(Please check the tax regulations in your country)
Can I make a donation without committing to a regular contribution?
Of course, you are also welcome to donate any amount – we are grateful for your individual donations too.
How can I get actively involved in volunteering?
From helping out in the organising team to looking after guests, there are many ways to get involved – take the first step now and get in touch with us at: freundeskreis@eyoa.de
How else can I help?
The faster we grow, the better: so you can also support the EYOA by recommending our project to others, attending our concerts or telling people in your network about us. Any form of support helps to spread the word about our idea.
What are the benefits of membership?
From priority ticket sales to reserved seating and an invitation to an exclusive after-show reception, from newsletter updates to exclusive access to rehearsals during the Academy or invitations to meet-and-greets, from being named on our website and prominently featured in the programme to sponsoring a member of the ensemble – your benefits are entirely tailored to your chosen membership model. In any case, you will become part of an inspiring young European community and support our vision of international understanding through the unifying power of music.

A growing circle of supporters
Many people are already committed to the EYOA initiative – and are helping to create connections that have an impact far beyond music. We would be delighted if you too would join us.
EYOA Friends & Partners – For young talent. For Europe
The heart of our foundation beats for young talent, art, and culture – and with the EYOA, this comes alive: E stands for European unity and diversity, Y for young musical talent, O for orchestral collaboration, and A for Academy, representing support and education. The academy provides young people with a stage to showcase their skills and gives the audience the chance to experience the world-famous Mannheim musical tradition.
In addition to our institutional partners and their representatives, numerous private supporters are also involved in the EYOA Friends.
