Corporate Social Responsibility Worldwide
Deutsche Bank's commitment to communities in the Americas is grounded in a long-standing tradition of social responsibility. To accomplish our goal of creating social capital, with respect to corporate volunteering, social investments, art & music and education, we leverage our core competencies in five areas of activity: Ensuring Viability, Committing Ourselves, Creating Opportunity, Fostering Creativity and Creating Talent. Deutsche Bank actively advances the dialog with academia, politics and business. Programs are implemented locally around the globe in the countries where we are represented by our regional teams and supported by the Bank’s independent foundations. This enables us to act as a responsible corporate citizen.

Deutsche Bank Foundation
Founded in 1986, Deutsche Bank Foundation has mostly funded education, integration and social projects. The Foundation focuses chiefly on initiatives that ideally bring together these three aspects and encourage young people to realize and develop their full potential. Art, music and culture also benefit from the Foundation’s sponsorship activities, while the Alfred Herrhausen Fund supports initiatives aimed at improving the career prospects of disadvantaged youths.
Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation
The principal focus of the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation’s work is community development, poverty alleviation, public education initiatives and arts programs. Philanthropic activities support the entire Americas region with funding of programs in the United States, Canada and Latin America. Resources are complemented by the activities of the Community Development Finance Group, which makes loans and investments within low and moderate income communities. It is the center of competence for Deutsche Bank’s global microfinance work. Since 1992, the Federal Reserve Bank has rated Deutsche Bank “outstanding” for this work.
