Become a Sponsor!

The Carl-Schurz-Haus promotes transatlantic dialogue through cultural events, English language courses, counseling services provided by EducationUSA, and its English-language library. We welcome partnerships and support for our cultural program, our library, or projects in early childhood, youth, and democracy education, such as:

• Carl Schurz Scholarship for a high school year in Freiburg’s sister city Madison, Wisconsin
• Scholarships for our Green Academy for Kids & Teens
• Invitations of international speakers
• event catering

For companies that think and act internationally, a partnership with the Carl-Schurz-Haus means more than just cultural engagement. It is a visible commitment to openness, international responsibility, and social engagement.

We offer our partners two forms of support:

• Major Corporate Membership: With an annual contribution of €5,000, you make a substantial contribution to securing our work. As a Major Corporate Member, we see you as an institutional partner who supports our work not just selectively, but structurally and significantly. Further information can be found here.
• Sponsoring / individual support: In addition, we offer project-related or theme-focused support that ties in with your business priorities. Further information can be found here.

Any support for the Carl-Schurz-Haus is an investment in a place of intercultural education for all generations and in a place that brings international perspectives (and high-profile guests) to Freiburg – and feeds Freiburg perspectives into international discourse. We are convinced that this is also of lasting value for your company.

We would be happy to present our work and possible forms of partnership to you in person and look forward to the opportunity to discuss this with you. Our director Dr. Roman A. Seebeck will be happy to explain the possibilities for cooperation.
