Our Foundation
At a glance
We have long been committed to philanthropic endeavors, building strong partnerships with local, national, and global charities. in 2021 we achieved a major milestone, launching The Watches of Switzerland Group Foundation and gaining charitable status in November of that year.
The Foundation brings most of the Group’s charitable activities under one umbrella and has so far received over seven million dollars in donations from the Watches of Switzerland Group to support three pillars: the prevention or relief of poverty; the advancement of education; and the relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
THE PRINCE’S TRUST
The Prince’s Trust continues to be a key education partner, helping the Foundation to improve access to quality education in our communities. Since launching our Group-wide partnership in 2019, 6,240 young people have been reached, through a combination of education programs, the Young People Relief Fund, and the launch of their brand new Education hub.
In addition to the funding from the Foundation, the Group has continued to support the Trust through its sponsorship of the Young Changemaker Award at The Prince’s Trust Awards.
