Support as a Company

If you are a company that can imagine supporting our work regionally or nationwide, we would be very happy to talk to you.

With your donation, you help us to enable young people from a wide range of backgrounds to take part in the Award and contribute to them setting off into their adult lives with a strong belief in their own abilities, confident, committed and purposeful.

We are also happy to support you in offering the Award in your company for apprentices and trainees or in developing corporate social volunteering projects. Ideally, we will link your company with a school in your area. Supporting young people in their expeditions or introducing them to personal passions and sharing these with them can also be a life-changing experience for employees.

In a corporate partnership, we’ll help thread the Award through your business to create a true and lasting legacy. Together we’ll generate powerful, positive stories around skills and employment.

“Those who have achieved the Silver or Gold Award show determination and commitment – good prerequisites for a successful application to the Klaus Murmann Study Support Programme of the Foundation of German Economy!” (Nandita Wegehaupt, Leitung Strategische Kooperationen der Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft (sdw) gGmbH)

“If a few of the thousands of applications for the few apprenticeships we receive at the FU Berlin each year include an award such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award or other evidence confirming teamwork, perseverance and extracurricular involvement, these applications already stand out from the multitude of applications and gain a special look that enormously promotes and favours the likelihood of being invited for an interview” (Gilda A. Langkau, FU Berlin Office of the President – CIO).
