• Solidarity is not an empty word at ING in Luxembourg!

As every year, ING's objective is to support and promote the Luxembourg non-profit sector, which often still lacks the funds and resources to achieve its objectives, despite the remarkable work they are carrying out.

This year, the seven-member jury selected four projects in two categories, each of which received a cheque of 5,000 €. In addition, the jury had the possibility to award a share of the 10-year prize (an extra 10,000 €) to 3 more associations, and each of these 3 projects received a prize of 2,500 €. One of these 3 associations could win an additional 2,500 € thanks to the public vote, which decided which project was supported by a total of 5,000 €.

• Financial inclusion: Any project of entities working to improve the financial condition of individuals, for example through education or social and economic integration.
  
  
• Environmental protection: Any project by institutions working to protect the environment, for example by counteracting the effects of climate change.
  
  

• 3AL Autism Awareness Association Luxembourg asbl

• 2care2share (2,500 €)
• L’ONGD de la FNEL (2,500 €)
• Aide à l’enfance de l’Inde et Népal (5,000 €)
   

The 7-person jury was composed of people from both inside and outside ING. Together they determined the most convincing projects in terms of value, impact and method of implementation.

Thanks a lot to Stéphanie Moulin for organising this special project and the Jury members for their commitment!”
