We believe in
Good Entrepreneurship
We believe every child and young person in Germany deserves a fair chance.
GENUI is the initiator, shareholder, and active supporter of the UnternehmerStiftung für Chancengerechtigkeit
(Entrepreneurs' Foundation for Equal Opportunities - USC).
We refuse to accept that one in five children in Germany is held back by structural barriers.
Through USC, we are committed to making education, participation, and healthcare accessible to all — regardless of income or background.
USC's distinctive funding model is built for lasting impact: capital from the GENUI network is invested in private equity funds whose management teams voluntarily waive
their fees and carried interest. As a result, 100% of returns flow directly to impact purposes - a truly unique approach in Germany.
The shareholders and board members of USC are:
Christian Boehringer
Former Chairman of the Shareholders’ Committee,
Boehringer Ingelheim
Ralph Dommermuth
Founding Shareholder, Chairman of the Executive Board, and CEO United Internet

USC partners strategically with organisations that offer effective and sustainable solutions.
We are committed to excellence — working alongside social enterprises that demonstrate measurable impact, an entrepreneurial mindset, and strong scalability potential.
We provide targeted support to help these organisations take their next decisive step in growth.
Our long-term ambition is to drive structural change and embed successful solutions permanently within the system.
The USC funding approach creates added value for organisations and initiates structural change
The USC’s funding portfolio establishes an infrastructure for equal-opportunity development.
