At ASML, we believe in innovation that changes lives. But some lives begin with a fight. Heart defects are the number one cause of death in children under 15. Every year in the Netherlands, around 700 children undergo heart surgery, with nearly half operated on before their first birthday. These children—known as heart children—face a lifelong journey. Surgery may save their lives, but it doesn’t cure them. Heart children often live with: Heart failure Cardiac arrhythmias Brain damage And the emotional and physical toll of growing up with a chronic condition Their lives are filled with hospital visits, uncertainty, and limitations. But with more research, we can change this.

Girls and boys deserve the same opportunities! Unfortunately, in many countries around the world, girls face systematic disadvantages from childhood. Girls are forced to leave school earlier than boys or are withheld the education that they need for a job with real prospects. Globally, 1 in 5 girls marry during their childhood; and 9 out of 10 adolescent girls and young women in low-income countries do not have access to the internet, while their male peers are twice as likely to be online. Give girls a chance to develop and you’ll see what a big difference they can make!

Every year, 600 children in the Netherlands are diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, one in four of these children does not survive.

At ASML, we stand on the shoulders of giants. One of those giants was Frits Klostermann (1933–2024), a true pioneer in precision systems for lithography and one of the driving forces behind ASML in its earliest days. His legacy of innovation and dedication continues to inspire us. He is hardly known in ASML circles, but Frits Klostermann helped lay the foundation for the lithography from which the company emerged at the Philips Physics Laboratory (Natlab). Not only from a technological point of view, he involved many researchers and employees of the workshop in the development of a mask writer and photo repeater for chip contact masks. In memory of Frits and in support of a cause close to many, we invite you to consider donating to the MPN Foundation. The MPN Foundation is committed to improving the lives of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)—a group of rare blood cancers that includes essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), and myelofibrosis (MF). These diseases are characterized by the overproduction of blood cells in the bone marrow, and they can be difficult to diagnose and treat due to their rarity. Founded in 2003, the MPN Foundation serves as a vital resource for patients, their families, and healthcare professionals. It promotes: Scientific research through its dedicated Research Foundation (FWO), which is funded entirely by donations, legacies, and overpayments from donors. Awareness and education among physicians to improve diagnosis and treatment. Community support, offering patients a place to connect and share experiences. Every contribution to the MPN Foundation’s FWO goes directly to supporting research and patient care—100% of your donation makes a difference. Let’s honor Frits Klostermann’s legacy not only by remembering his contributions to technology but also by supporting a cause that brings hope and progress to those facing MPNs.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank is horrible. Every day, thousands of innocent civilians suffer from violence, poverty, and the lack of basic necessities such as food, water, and medical care.

People have nowhere to go for the medical care they desperately need. Your help is needed now, via 1 donation you support 4 nonprofit organizations that are doing a crucial work in human lives. Stand up for justice!

Dialysis is degenerative. People go on dialysis and decay, psychologically and physically, until they are socially isolated. Then, they die in silence. There is no awareness, and so no desire to change this. Despite heavy cost to both the patient and the state (~5% of all health care spending) This is the reason dialysis has remained the same for 50 years. As someone who was on dialysis and now working to end it, Tuğrul Irmak and the team at Nephrology want to make a difference. They want to build a bio-artificial kidney. For this we need to raise not only funds but awareness, for it is the lack of awareness that has blocked progress. About Tuğrul Irmak He is extremely motivated to end the threat of dialysis that hangs like a dark cloud over every kidney patient. As a mountain climber and kidney patient himself, Tuğrul Irmak takes action for a future free of kidney dialysis. His target is €1 million. But he goes much further than just a fundraiser: as a researcher at the UMC Utrecht, Tuğrul himself is also working on an artificial implantable kidney. He just started a campaign: the Climb Against Time . Tuğrul: “The transplant gave me my life back — or at least let it continue. But my kidney has a limited lifespan. I spoke to people in the same situation whose transplant failed and who had to go back to dialysis. With this campaign, we want to raise money for Artificial Kidney Research. Dialysis patients have to make a constant, tough climb to survive. To symbolize this, we are going to climb!” Tuğrul invites people to donate, but also to participate in the Climb and take on their own challenge. “Walk, cycle, run or climb. Use your summer vacation for a good cause.” Via Friends of UMC Utrecht & Wilhelmina Children's Hospital, the donations will end up in the right place.

On May 16 a tornado swept through St. Louis, Missouri, beginning just outside Energizer's corporate headquarters and cutting a path of destruction through northern parts of the city with windspeeds of 150 mph. Our office is secure and our colleagues are safe, but thousands have been left without electricity and many homes have been destroyed. The scale of damage to neighborhoods and community centers promises a road to recovery that is long, costly and challenging. Energizer is working with local groups to provide batteries and portable lights to those who need them, but in times like this many of us want to know what we can do to help. The Energizer Giving Foundation can maximize the impact of your donations to organizations providing aid to those in the communities affected by the tornado.

May is Stroke Awareness Month. My daughter suffered a stroke when she was 13 years old. We didn't immediately think it was a Stroke due to her young age and she was originally misdiagnosed with Bell's Palsy. Within 24 hours, after seeing a neurologist, it was soon discovered her symptoms were due to a Stroke. She is now 18, in College and thriving, however precious time was wasted from the onset of symptoms to treatment which could have led to a much worse outcome. Strokes can happen at any age and it is important to know the risk factors and recognize the signs! This is why during the Month of May I am raising money for the American Stroke Association (A division of the American Heart Association) in order to help this organization Spread Awareness and Save Lives!!
