Each year Intel Ireland selects two signature charities in order to give employees the opportunity to dedicate their efforts towards providing volunteer time and funds, raised through specially organised activities, to these chosen organisations.
For 2015, Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) and the Friends of St. Luke’s have been selected and this week at the Intel campus in Leixlip special events were held to launch the 2015 campaign and to invite employees to hear more about the wonderful work undertaken by each of the organisations.
Employees will engage in series of different activities and events throughout the year to raise awareness and fund funds for the signature charities – these events include the annual Intel Charity Cycle, 5km Fun Run, Tea for MND event, Golf Classic and Family Day to name a few.
Lisa Harlow, External Relations Manager at Intel Ireland spoke about the launch of the 2015 campaign and said “Intel Ireland has a long and proud history of volunteering and supporting charities. We are delighted for Intel to this year be partnering with Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) and the Friends of St. Luke’s – charities that are both doing fantastic work and we are looking forward to the year ahead partnering together with them both”.
Intel has a unique initiative, the Matching Grants Program, which recognises and motivates Intel employees to engage in outreach and volunteerism by providing a cash grant to the schools, charities and other non-profit organisations where they volunteer their time. The grants are accrued based on the number of hours that are volunteered by Intel employees at organisations which are registered as part of the program. Both of the 2015 signature charities will benefit as part of this program as employees engage in volunteer activities in support of Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) and the Friends of St. Luke’s.
Intel Ireland employees have a long tradition of community engagement with more than 45,000 volunteer hours being recorded in 2014 by Ireland employees. In addition to this volunteer time, over €56,000 was raised for our signature charities last year which were the Jack and Jill Foundation and Irish Autism Action
