Duchess of Middleton Foundation

The Duchess of Middleton Foundation (Stichting Hertogin van Middleton) is a foundation established on 1 May 2018 on the anniversary of Princess Marianne's fifth birthday and year as Duchess of Middleton. The foundation is centered on promoting environmental awareness and recognizing leading change to further environmental causes, primarily in Brunant or involving Brunanters.

The foundation, similar to the Princess of Asturias Foundation and Duke of Edinburgh's Award will present awards to persons contributing in the fields of conservation, innovation and leadership. The awards will be presented from September of 2018 annually, with the ceremony held at Middleton's castle.

Prince Bernd will be temporary patron of the foundation until Princess Marianne's coming of age, though she is the titular president. A council of eight prominent Brunanters was appointed on 28 May 2018, and former Environment minister John Graham was elected director of the foundation.
