Description

The Emmele-Toepfer Donation is aimed at non-profit organizations, foundations, interest groups, and associations throughout Germany that distinguish themselves through outstanding social achievements in the field of children and youth. With an endowment of €20,000 per award, the Carl-Toepfer Foundation honors exemplary initiatives that focus on social benefits for young people. The selection of awardees is made after thorough review by the foundation council and board, who decide both on the timing of the award and the recipients. The goal is to recognize innovative commitment and provide the chosen projects with sustainable impetus for their further development.

The award primarily addresses initiatives, associations, foundations, and non-profit organizations that open up new perspectives for children and youth through creative concepts and effective measures. The Emmele-Toepfer Donation not only promotes the recognition of exemplary project work but also sends a clear signal for social cohesion and future-oriented youth support. There is no binding application deadline – the decision on the award and endowment lies at the discretion of the foundation council. This provides maximum flexibility for organizers who wish to seek recognition of their work even at short notice.
