Madia e.V.
Our non-commercial and 100% volunteer-run vegan café in the center of Potsdam is a community project of Madia e.V., which has created a meeting place for people of all ages, where we have fun cooking, eating and doing other activities together. We cook vegan lunches from fresh food for our guests, offer lovingly handcrafted catering for groups, organizations, offices etc. and hold events (e.g. workshops, games and dance evenings, readings, intercultural pop-up snacks, living room concerts and exhibitions).

Funding
As our supporting association is not a non-profit organization, we currently have to generate our own income from vegan food and drinks (on a donation basis), catering and rental income (fixed prices) to finance Café Madia.
We rent out our rooms to groups and initiatives that are committed to solving social problems and protecting the climate.

Objectives
With our vegan food and drink offer, we want to make people aware of the possibilities of climate-friendly nutrition. In our meeting place, we want to create a space for creative people, activists from democracy-friendly social and ecological movements and thus enable the formation of a community that can support itself in the future solely through solidarity contributions from Madia activists, guests, groups, initiatives, supporters and other interested parties.
