Savings Banks Finance Group

The 367 Savings Banks and their affiliated partners in the Savings Banks Finance Group are on hand to provide lifelong support to people throughout Germany.

As public financial institutions with regional roots, the Savings Banks and their affiliated partners are committed to serving the public interest nationwide. The Savings Banks see it as their duty to facilitate both economic and social participation for everyone. This commitment has been embedded in the concept of Savings Banks for over 200 years.

Art and culture sponsoring plays a key role in the organisation’s CSR activities: the Savings Banks Finance Group has been Germany’s largest non-government sponsor in this sphere for many years.

Art and culture broaden horizons, foster imagination and promote mutual understanding. This two-way communication is one of the cornerstones of an open and diverse society. In its sponsorship work, the Saving Banks Finance Group seeks to make cultural experiences accessible to as many people as possible.

documenta fifteen is sponsored by the Sparkassen- und Giroverband Hessen-Thüringen, the Sparkassen-Kulturstiftung Hessen-Thüringen, Kasseler Sparkasse, Helaba, Deka, SV SparkassenVersicherung and the Savings Banks Cultural Fund of the German Savings Banks Association.
