Emirati flag carrier Emirates announced that it will fully match every contribution made to the Emirates Airline Foundation to aid children in need.

The airline is boosting its efforts to extend assistance to displaced or disadvantaged children, and is also building on the gains it has achieved over 20 years for 13 community-based organisations and grassroots NGOs dedicated to ensuring the health and welfare of these children.

For every dollar, dirham or any currency donated to the Emirates Airline Foundation, the airline will fully match every contribution made up to US $10,000, to double the impact of every customer as part of its long-standing commitment to build a better future for the children which it supports.

Emirates Airline Foundation chair Sir Tim Clark declared: “As global challenges intensify for the world’s most vulnerable people, safeguarding the fundamental needs of children and their access to food, health, housing and education has never been more vital. This is why we are scaling up our support by matching every donation made to the Emirates Airline Foundation as part of our commitment to prioritising the needs of children and helping to break the cycle of poverty. Every contribution made today is a stepping stone towards a fully nourished, educated, and empowered child.”

The airline’s latest philanthropic initiative to boost humanitarian efforts comes as the UAE marks the Year of Community in 2025, which aims to make a lasting impact on communities, support a culture of shared responsibility and unlock potential for sustainable growth.
