KNOWLEDGE TO
TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES!
We believe that promoting social change is a responsibility of everyone, not just the Foundation. That is why we also strive to promote active citizenship among Volkswagen employees.
We do this by means of a Volkswagen in the Community contest. We also provide training and awards to social organizations that promote community development. All are selected based on the recommendations of company employees.
This way, employees, community social organizations and the Volkswagen Foundation work together to promote more development.
As important as financial resources is the knowledge of how to manage them effectively.
Many community organizations face not only financial, but also project management and execution challenges.”
The award for selected initiatives is more than just money. We help these organizations plan how to administer these resources in a sustainable way, ensuring achievement of the goals established for their projects.
