Created in 2018 by the Corporate Responsibility Department, the EIB Group Volunteering Hub aims to connect EIB Group staff who support associations, NGOs and charities and staff who wish to engage in volunteering activities or donate money and/or goods.

This November, the EIB Group Volunteering Hub organised the EIB Volunteering Hub Award. All staff members were invited to vote for one of the Luxembourg-based charities or associations registered on the Volunteering Hub.

The winner of this year’s award is sparkles.lu. Their mission is to support female entrepreneurs in less developed countries by providing micro loans, allowing women to create or expand their business activities and, ultimately, to improve their lives and the lives of their families.

The winning charity received a donation from the EIB Institute (EIBI).
