WHO WE ARE
We are a different kind of international award — one granted by a Foundation unlike any other. We stand apart because we don’t simply fund the usual projects that most foundations support. Instead, we take an active, hands-on approach, working directly with young people to train and empower them and help shape their futures alongside them.
​
If you believe in ethical business and think that giving a meaningful job or opportunity is more impactful than a simple subsidy, this Foundation is for you. If you believe that teaching skills, fostering self-sufficiency, and creating well-being for yourself and others is the path to lasting change, then this Foundation is your Foundation.
​
We are more than an award — we are a launchpad for potential, a bridge to opportunity, and a catalyst for real impact.
We Reward Those Who Create Success and Development
We believe in the potential of all people — young or young at heart — who have the courage and determination to start anew. We believe in those who create opportunities, empower others, and drive success for the communities we support.
​
After 25 years, the TRUST DH INTERNATIONAL Award is evolving. While the story remains the same, the future is even more prestigious.
​
Starting in 2022, the award has been renamed, expanded, and its purpose enhanced to The Duke of Dijon’s Award.
​
This award celebrates visionaries, changemakers, and leaders — those who turn ambition into action and opportunities into lasting impact.
