The German Survey on Volunteering (FWS) is a cross-sectional survey of voluntary activities of persons aged 14 and older living in Germany. It is funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ). Volunteering and the willingness to volunteer can be reported and described among population groups and across regions. Data of the wares from 1999, 2004 and 2009 as well as documentation material are available for researchers at the Research Data Centre of the DZA (FDZ-DZA, www.fdz-dza.de). The fourth wave will be carried out in 2014 under the scientific supervision of the DZA. The main report of the German Survey on Volunteering 2014 and the scientific use file will presumably be available in 2016.
