Over €77,500 has been donated to 155 local charities nationwide as part of Aldi’s Community Grants programme. The programme helps fund charities and organisations that contribute vital work and services in their local communities. Each local charity is chosen by Aldi employees, enabling them to help the local good causes they are passionate about.
A series of €500 grants, amounting to over €77,500 in total, have been presented to charities across the country in 2020. The programme has contributed to 750 local organisations to date, donating over €375,000 since it began 2016.

The Community Grants programme is one example of how Aldi are committed to investing and partnering with local communities and charities across Ireland and we look forward to continuing this engagement into 2021.”
