Our Goal is to Reduce Financial Barriers to Higher Education
CHANCEN eG’s aim is to ensure that everybody has equal opportunities and access to educational institutions of their choice, enabling people to freely develop how they wish to further their education and shape their careers. We do this in partnership with the CHANCEN Community.
Our Purpose
As a cooperative, Chancen eG, believes in equal opportunity. Every human being should have the freedom during their education and when shaping their careers. Every human being should equal opportunities to access education, irrespective of their financial situation. Graduates should freely choose their career path without unnecessary financial pressure like interest rates and rigid debt repayment plans.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND AUTONOMY
Vision and Mission
CHANCEN eG is a social enterprise, a community united in providing educational funding.
Our goal is to reduce the financial barriers to education. Ensuring that access to education is independent of an individual’s financial background.
Our purpose is not to maximise profit, but to rather form a community that promotes the social and economic interest of all its members. Not only do we stand by this with a solid constitution – we commit ourselves to it in our cooperative statutes, which we are legally bound to.
COOPERATIVES ARE A REMINDER TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO PURSUE BOTH ECONOMIC VIABILITY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

ACCESS TO EDUCATION FOR ALL
The idea behind CHANCEN eG
Our fair financial model – Income Share Agreements – was developed in 1995 by StudierendenGesellschaft Witten/Herdecke e.V. Over 2,000 students have already benefited from this model and have been able to access education. As former board members of StudierendenGesellschaft, the two founders of CHANCEN eG, Florian Kollewijn and Olaf Lampson, truly believe in the value of this model.
Income Share Agreements from CHANCEN eG give students and apprentices across Germany access to fair financing for their education.
The GLS Treuhand is a founding member, they add immense value to our organisation. Through an extended network in the Impact Investing World and sound knowledge in ethical and sustainable investment, we can assure all our members, investors and partners that we fulfil our mission in a socially responsible manner.
GLS TREUHAND
The GLS Treuhand has developed a culture of donation over the last 55 years. They advise and manage foundations and donors, offering them many years of experience in ethical and sustainable investment. Besides individual endowment funds, trusts and independent foundations, the GLS Treuhand also mentors new foundations that focus on education, cooperation development, health and culture.
STUDIERENDENGESELLSCHAFT
The StudierendenGesellschaft (SG), a student association, developed the Income Share Agreements in 1995 (known as Umgekehrte Generationenvertrag in German). For over 20 years its main objective has been to ensure that studying at Witten/Herdecke University should not be dependent on an individual’s financial background. The SG recently issued public bonds to refinance the organisation, thus proving that such a business model is viable for the capital market.
GLS BANK
Founded in 1974 the GLS Bank was the first bank to operate based on socio-ecological principles. Their innovative work received recognition by winning the German Sustainability Award in 2013, as the most sustainable bank of the year in Europe. Since 2010, they have also been elected annually as Bank of the Year. They create a network for Impact Investors in Germany with the annual Mission Investing Forum.
WLP GMBH
The Hamburg based auditing firm, WLP Wirtschaftsprüfergesellschaft Steuerberatergesellschaft mbH, offers services for social enterprises and conventional businesses. They link creative and pragmatic solutions to socially innovative business ideas.
Following the organisation of an international Winter School for Social Entrepreneurship, Florian Kollewijn joined StudierendenGesellschaft Witten/Herdecke from 2011 to 2013. Subsequently, he became CFO of a pan-European campaign and worked for two years as a management consultant. He studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics and Business Economics at Witten/Herdecke University.
"Equal opportunity and freedom are values that I strive for in a political and social context. Through CHANCEN eG I aim to realise these values."
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND FREEDOM ARE CRUCIAL IN REALISING POTENTIAL AND FULLY DEVELOPING INDIVIDUALS.
