The big innovation for the 2015 edition...
This year, ING offered the winners of the project contest of all four editions of the ING Solidarity Awards the opportunity to boost their resources by trying a new kind of fund raising.  The goal is to organise an information session in partnership with KissKissBankBank, a well-known online crowdfunding website, to help them gain a better understanding of this alternative funding method.
ING will also help increase the visibility of the crowdfunding campaign of the associations that decide to try this fund raising method. An accelerated procedure and personalised follow-up will round off this offer for the associations that have won the project contest since the creation of the ING Solidarity Awards.

Luc Verbeken, CEO of ING Luxembourg, is thrilled with the continuing success of the ING Solidarity Awards:   "I'm really proud of the support and visibility ING has been able to provide to several local associations again this year thanks to the ING Solidarity Awards. 
It's a real pleasure to see how successful the very active Luxembourg non-profit sector is. It shows our deep commitment to our local presence which we intend to continue developing.  I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the 2015 edition for its commitment and actions!"
