<sod>The '''Stifterverband der Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft''' (Donor Federation of the Emergency Association of German Science) was founded on 14 December 1920 to collect donations for the ''[[Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft]]'' through its representatives in industry or through political influence. From 1920 to 1945, R. Fellinger of [[Siemens]] was the managing director. Contributions to the Federation were small compared to grants from the government, especially because of competing organizations, such as ''Helmholtz-Gesellschaft'' (today, the [[Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres]]), founded by [[Albert Vögler]] in 1920, and the ''Fördergesellschaft der Deutschen Industrie'' (Society for the Advancement of German Industry).<ref> Hentschel and Hentschel, 1996, Appendix A; see the entry for the ''Stifterverband''.</ref><eod>
