The Allfunds Solidarity Fund concludes its 10th anniversary with a record-breaking year in social impact.

Madrid, January 15, 2025 – Allfunds celebrates the conclusion of the tenth anniversary of its Solidarity Fund with 2024 marked by unprecedented employee engagement and a record-breaking level of donations. This year has been the most remarkable in the history of the Solidarity Fund, reaffirming its commitment to five priority areas aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Since its inception, the Solidarity Fund has been driven by the dedication and generosity of Allfunds employees, who have actively contributed to various initiatives aimed at making a difference in the communities where the company operates. In 2024, these efforts reached a new level of impact:

Fighting Childhood Cancer

The flagship Allfunds charity run raised €75,000, directed to key foundations working in the fight against childhood cancer (Fundación Aladina, Unoentrecienmil, 1001 Esperanzas, Juegaterapia, Cris Contra el Cáncer, El Sueño de Vicky). This event brought together more than 500 participants and 22 sponsors, establishing itself as one of the year's most significant moments.

Community Development in Developing Countries

Through collaboration programs with various NGOs (Fundación Khanimambo, Fundación Esteban Vigil), Allfunds provided resources and direct support to vulnerable communities in developing countries, strengthening infrastructure and opportunities for sustainable development.

Humanitarian Emergencies

In a year filled with challenges, the Solidarity Fund demonstrated its ability to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies, such as the Dana in Valencia, where €105,000 in donations and essential resources were mobilized to support affected communities. Additionally, following the devastating earthquake in Syria and Turkey, the Fund contributed significant in-kind donations, including €4,000 worth of clothing for those in critical need.

Supporting Children and Their Wellbeing

As the year came to a close, the "True Three Kings" campaign, in collaboration with A+ Familias, fulfilled the wishes of over 100 children from low-income families or at risk of social exclusion.

Integration of People with Disabilities

In partnership with Prodis and A la Par, Allfunds supported employment programs offering real integration opportunities for people with disabilities. The company also promoted training and artistic initiatives that foster personal and professional development, encouraging an inclusive and diverse environment.

Participatory Solidarity

As part of its Christmas campaign, Allfunds organized a global competition where employees proposed meaningful personal causes and rallied support within the organization to secure donations and votes. The most-voted proposals received donations from the Solidarity Fund, distributed proportionally to the number of votes obtained. A total of €108,070 was raised and distributed among the selected foundations. The causes supported in 2024 ranged from fighting cancer and other diseases to supporting third-world communities, promoting inclusion, and improving mental health and well-being. This initiative not only encouraged active employee participation but also strengthened their personal connection with the Solidarity Fund, showcasing once again the global impact of its actions.

A Decade of Impact and Commitment

The Solidarity Fund reflects Allfunds' social commitment within its sustainability strategy. Focused on priority areas such as childhood, emergencies, and community development, the Fund has not only expanded its reach but also deepened the active participation of employees, who are the driving force behind this initiative. With over 270 projects supported in 40 countries over 10 years, the Fund has become a cornerstone of Allfunds' corporate culture.

Looking Ahead: 2025 and Beyond

For 2025, Allfunds will continue strengthening its commitment to the causes that have defined the Solidarity Fund over the past decade. Through new collaborations and leveraging the passion and dedication of its employees, the Fund will continue working toward building a fairer, more compassionate, and sustainable world.
