This year, ArcelorMittal Foundation Luxembourg has selected ten projects led by ArcelorMittal employees in Luxembourg who are involved in various charitable activities.
As every year in October, the annual ‘Minigrants’ ceremony organised by the ArcelorMittal Foundation Luxembourg was held at ArcelorMittal Headquarters in Luxembourg City.
The Minigrants program is an initiative aimed at supporting projects carried out by associations or foundations active in Luxembourg or the Greater Region, in which ArcelorMittal employees in Luxembourg are involved as volunteers.
Each year, ArcelorMittal Foundation Luxembourg provides financial support to several projects that align with its strategy by distributing a total of €30,000 among the initiatives approved by a jury and selected by the Foundation’s Board of Directors. To be selected, a project must address at least one of the following areas: social, education, culture and heritage, or environment.
The ten selected projects, from the dozen presented, offer a glimpse into the diverse ways in which employees are involved in causes that benefit the communities around us:
- Enzo ta belle leçon de vie: support financially the dreams of children with cancer
- Maison des Sports et Loisirs de Mondelange: inclusive sport and art programs for children, promoting development, self-confidence and social inclusion

Mr Michel Wurth, President of the ArcelorMittal Foundation Luxembourg, said: « The initiatives presented year after year as part of the “Minigrants” programme are always wonderful, generous and altruistic projects. We want to support this momentum among ArcelorMittal employees who are committed to serving others. This approach is in line with the philanthropic spirit of our Foundation, which works within Luxembourg and the cross-border region to facilitate the development of social, cultural, educational and environmental projects.
