Analog Devices International donate thousands to Limerick charities

TECH company Analog Devices International (ADI) donated €20,000 to Milford Care Centre and thousands more to Limerick charities.

The company donated a total of €100,000 euro to 39 charities based in Munster as part of its Annual Community Awards and Charitable Donations Programme.

A broad spectrum of organisations based in Limerick, Cork, Clare, Tipperary and Kerry benefited with donations going to local sporting clubs, schools, community hubs, a Men’s shed group, and numerous well-deserved charities.

Employees from Analog Devices Limerick and Cork sites were given the opportunity to nominate who should benefit from the donations programme.

Over 300 nominations were made giving the Community Relations Team the difficult task of reviewing the submissions and allocating contributions.

Vice president of Industrial Business Units at ADI Leo McHugh said, “Every one of these charities, community groups, sporting organisations and educational institutions has a lasting impact on our community by improving people’s lives.

“Having been embedded in the region for almost 50 years, we are delighted to be in a position to give back and support so many worthwhile groups in their endeavours,” Mr McHugh said.

Donations were made across four category types: platinum, gold, silver and bronze.

As a long-standing charity partner of ADI, Milford Care Centre received the Platinum donation of €20,000.
