World Fellowship
World Fellowship is a global leadership network made up of chief executives, industry leaders, international ambassadors, philanthropists, and founders of successful international enterprises.
Created in 1987 to support the development of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award through philanthropic initiatives, it enables young people to take part in the world’s leading youth programme, to have their achievements recognised, and to build essential skills for life wherever they may be.
The Award brings its supporters together at events and gatherings across the world, playing a vital role in our mission to make the Award accessible to every young person aged 14–24, regardless of ability, background, or culture.

Philanthropic support — A gift that shapes generations
Philanthropic contributions from supporters of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award form the foundation that allows the programme to grow and expand globally. Every contribution helps us develop young people who are more confident, more responsible, and better prepared to become leaders in their communities.
There are many ways to get involved — from individual or corporate contributions to joining the World Fellowship, the global network of leaders committed to supporting education for life.
Leaving a philanthropic legacy is also one of the most powerful forms of long‑term impact, giving future generations the chance to benefit from the same values and opportunities that transform lives.
Whatever form your support takes, it becomes more than a donation: it becomes an investment in people, in communities, and in the future.
