80 years of commitment to Luxembourg
Transcription de "80 years of commitment to Luxembourgtitle"
How did a single idea in 1944 grow into 80 years of service to society?
While in exile in London, Her Royal Highness Grande-Duchesse Charlotte founded the Œuvre Nationale de Secours to support victims of the Second World War. Just weeks later, a national call for donations invited everyone to contribute part of their salary. The result was extraordinary: 4.6 million francs raised.
To secure this mission’s future, the Loterie Nationale was created. That same year, its first draw began a tradition of dedicating 100% of net profits to philanthropic efforts.
Since 1945, over 543 million euros have been distributed to beneficiaries, transforming lives across Luxembourg. In just the last decade, thousands of projects have been supported. For the past five years, the Loterie Nationale has upheld the European Lotteries Certification for Responsible Gaming, demonstrating its commitment to fairness and trust.
For 80 years, the Œuvre Nationale and the Loterie Nationale have embodied resilience and generosity, building a brighter future for all.
At the service of society for 80 years.
Thanks to Loterie Nationale, which provides almost all of its resources, Œuvre Nationale helps associations to carry out projects in the public interest, and is committed to a united, innovative and sustainable society.

Developing social cohesion means guaranteeing equal opportunities and rights for everyone regardless of their background or status. This value guides Œuvre's initiatives and projects on a daily basis.
Culture highlights the rich diversity of our society and provides a space for experiencing human emotions, reminding us every day that creation and intercultural dialogue have a key role to play in fostering individual integration and social cohesion. Œuvre finances cultural projects that have a social dimension.
Œuvre works to meet the needs of society and our environment by promoting the circular economy and encouraging future generations to develop sustainable solutions for our environment.
