Intel supports Autism Assistance Dogs charity

Each year Intel selects a charity for employees to dedicate their combined efforts towards. Throughout the year employees provide volunteer time and funds, raised through specially organised activities, to the chosen charity. For 2024, Intel selected Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (AADI) as their signature charity.

Some €50,000 was raised this year and was recently presented to the charity. The funds were raised through a variety of fundraising events supported by Intel employees. In addition to the funds raised, over 1000 hours of employee volunteer time was provided to Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland throughout the year.

Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland provides highly trained assistance dogs that make a world of difference for children with autism. Funds raised through Intel’s partnership will support the charity with the costs of training assistance dogs.
