On 10 March 2026, Banque Raiffeisen renewed its financial support to several Luxembourg associations, which it has been providing regularly for several years now. A total of €30,000 in donations were pledged at the Bank’s headquarters in Leudelange. The event took place in the presence of Laurent Zahles, Chairman of the Management Board, as well as Eric Peyer, Georges Heinrich and Sandrine De Vuyst, Members of the Management Board.

This support, which comes in the year of the Bank’s centenary, highlights the dedication and valuable work of the selected associations. It also reaffirms Banque Raiffeisen’s role as the country’s leading cooperative bank and its ongoing commitment to Luxembourg’s social, community, charitable and humanitarian initiatives.

Six charities benefit

As in previous years, Banque Raiffeisen selected six Luxembourg charities to receive a donation of €5,000 each.

This year, the following associations were selected:

· Autisme Luxembourg a.s.b.l.: based in Capellen, this foundation has been working for more than 25 years to defend and promote the rights of people with autism in Luxembourg. It works in collaboration with public services and other partners in the voluntary sector to promote the social inclusion of these individuals, who often live on the margins of society.

· Unity Foundation: founded in 1980 and recognised eleven years later as a public utility and non-governmental organisation by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Unity Foundation focuses on empowering communities through education. It also offers awareness-raising activities on the themes of education and development, as well as spaces for reflection and exchange.

· Fairtrade Lëtzebuerg: formerly known as TransFair-Minka a.s.b.l., this association, founded in 1992, is committed, together with its various partners, to developing fairer, more sustainable and more equitable trade between producers and workers in Asia, South America, the Caribbean and Africa, and consumers. More broadly, one of the objectives of the non-profit-making organisation is to raise consumer awareness and educate them about fair trade in order to guide them towards new, more responsible consumption habits.

· ALIVE + a.s.b.l.: the ALIVE concept was developed in 2015 to meet the needs expressed by the population and the environment in terms of short and long-term assistance and care. Against this background, ALIVE offers four complementary services: home care and assistance, day care for children with special needs, individual childcare for children with special needs, and an information, consultation and meeting service accessible to anyone with special needs or requiring a diagnosis.

· Ënnerdaach a.s.b.l.: founded in 1992 and recognised as a public utility eight years later, this non-profit-making organisation aims to give a chance to people who, due to their professional, financial or family situation, are forced to live in unsanitary and indecent housing. With 34 homes available, Ënnerdaach aims to facilitate the social integration of the people it helps and to assist them in starting afresh on a sound footing without depending on state aid.

· Singa Luxembourg a.s.b.l.: through various programmes and events, Singa aims to bring together the local population and new arrivals, thereby facilitating their adaptation and inclusion process. The association offers sporting, leisure, cultural and educational activities, as well as an Inclusion+ programme which supports new arrivals in the country, all based on active participation, expression of talents and mutual aid.

Local sponsorship

Through its policy of donating to Luxembourg associations, Banque Raiffeisen aims to recognise and support their commitment, dynamism and dedication. Although they all have different objectives, they share a common goal of providing practical and effective support to people in need. As a cooperative and socially responsible bank, Raiffeisen naturally supports this mission, which reflects its philosophy of local sponsorship.

Customers and members involved in the solidarity initiative

Banque Raiffeisen is also committed to involving its customers and members in this socially responsible initiative. Through their interactions with the Bank, they can collect loyalty points which can then be redeemed in various ways: paying their card fees, building up savings for their children or making a donation to one of the associations supported by the Bank. This is a unique system which allows each customer or member to become involved on an individual basis and make a positive impact on the beneficiary charities.
