Volunteering
The Deutsche Bahn Foundation makes the commitment of volunteers visible and recognizes their achievements. 2024 saw the launch of the new traveling exhibition “Ehrenwert” to strengthen and appreciate volunteering. It is aimed at emphasizing the diversity and importance of volunteering and further encouraging people to volunteer themselves. 2024 is the ninth time that DB employees who are involved in charitable organizations in their free time have applied for funding from the Deutsche Bahn Foundation. The program “Ehrensache” supported 212 projects.
The Christmas campaign “Wunscherfüller:in” is aimed specifically at DB employees. Together, DB employees were also able to fulfill the wishes of people in need in 2024. The project was also expanded to include a fundraising campaign for the first time. DB employees were able to quickly and easily support a children’s home in northern Syria with a sum of money.
