305 community organisations and schools across Ireland have received grants totalling €1,411,369 from an Intel Ireland employee volunteer programme. Thanks to the Intel Ireland volunteers for their matching grant contributions – Leixlip Tidy Town Association has received €2254 as part of the 2023 Matching Grant program!
The Intel Ireland Matching Grant programme sees a grant of $10 paid by the Intel Foundation for every hour that an Intel employee volunteers at an approved organisation. In 2023 this marks the fifth consecutive year that Intel Ireland will be donating over €1 million to community organisations across Ireland. In 2023 Intel Ireland employees volunteered just over 163,954 hours that were eligible to be matched through this initiative.
The 305 organisations include charities such as Irish Red Cross, the Samaritans and Irish Dogs for the Disabled, a variety of sporting clubs ranging from GAA to handball, and various other organisations such as animal sanctuaries and scouting groups spread across 23 different counties.
Since the inception of the Intel Ireland initiative, more than €12 million has been donated to charities, schools, sports clubs, social initiatives, and community schemes across Ireland.
Employees in Ireland make up just 5% of the overall Intel employee population but the Irish volunteering efforts account for 20% of Intel’s global grant amount.
