Lunar New Year is a multi-week event that is considered one of the most important annual celebrations among East and Southeast Asian cultures and communities, though it is celebrated across the globe. Lunar New Year is typically celebrated with wishes for prosperity and good luck in the new year, while spending time with loved ones and paying homage to past generations through a plethora of traditional foods, activities and events. Lunar New Year is the all-encompassing term to represent the vast number of communities that observe the lunar calendar, and traditions vary across cultures. The Lunar New Year Fund was created to spotlight AAPI-led organizations across the country who provide support and resources to Asian-American communities, celebrate and uplift Asian culture, and fight for Asian representation, justice, and equality.

World Water Day, observed on March 22 of each year, raises awareness of the global water and sanitation crisis. Millions of people around the world go without access to safe and clean water sources each day, and several organizations are working tirelessly to make a change. You can make a difference by being more mindful of your own water consumption, doing your part to keep your local water sources clean, participating in local cleanup efforts, and donating to organizations who are doing the critical work to improve clean water access and sanitation procedures.

International Women's Day (IWD), observed annually on March 8, is a worldwide celebration of women’s achievements. It offers an opportunity to reflect on progress made, to call for change, and to honor acts of courage and determination by women who have helped in moving the needle toward gender parity within their countries and communities. We encourage you to give to this campaign, or to search on Bright Funds for a nonprofit that is helping to create a more just, equitable world. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.

March is Women's History Month, an annual celebration and recognition of women's achievements and contributions to society throughout American history. The 2026 theme for Women's History Month is “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future”, celebrating the diverse contributions of women who are leading sustainability efforts across environmental, economic, educational, and social justice movements. The following organizations are supporting and recognizing the importance of women's contributions to all facets of American society through education, advocacy, and direct services.

My daughter Isis and another child, Seppe, suffer from a rare and severe heart disease (restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by a TNNI3 mutation). Currently, there is no effective treatment available. Over the past period, alongside my work at ASML, I have been fully committed to finding a solution. This has led to an important breakthrough: we are now collaborating with a professor in the US who has developed a promising peptide — a molecule based on a natural protein from the human body — that directly targets the underlying disease mechanism. For the first time, there is real hope on the horizon. We are currently working together with UMC Utrecht to test this peptide on heart cells derived from Isis and Seppe — a next step that is being made possible in part thanks to earlier support and contributions, including from many of you within ASML. These living heart cells will allow us to test and compare different treatment approaches, including gene therapy. However, gene therapy falls into a more complex regulatory category, requiring substantial time and investment. As a result, it is less likely to deliver a treatment within a timeframe that could benefit our children. The next step is the critical bottleneck: • preclinical studies to determine dosage and toxicity (including animal studies) These studies are essential and expensive, but required to move safely toward treatment in patients. • If these two studies are successful, a unique opportunity opens up: we can potentially proceed via an accelerated pathway (Named Patient / compassionate use) to treat Isis and Seppe. • If all goes well, treatment could be possible within ~1.5 years. Importantly, the impact may extend far beyond these two children: if this treatment proves successful, it could open the door to a therapy for diastolic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) — a condition affecting millions of people worldwide for which there is currently no effective solution. For us, this is not theoretical. This is currently the only realistic path toward a treatment. To support this work, we use Stichting Tikkertje, which was originally established to fund gene therapy research and is now also supporting this new and promising approach. 💡 Your ASML donation will directly contribute to enabling these crucial next steps, including the testing on patient-derived heart cells and the required preclinical studies. We are in a race against time. Every contribution — no matter how small — helps us move faster. More information: www.stichtingtikkertje.nl

But for some young people who grew up in residential care, life looks very different. Once they leave the care system, many no longer have family support. They must find housing, work, and manage daily expenses on their own. In these circumstances, continuing their education can feel like a luxury, and tuition becomes a heavy burden. For youths without family care, pursuing higher education often means facing a choice between survival and studying. Through the Education Continuation Program for Youth Without Family Care of Chinese Children’s Home and Shelter Association (CCSA), we help ensure that these young people do not have to give up their dreams simply because of financial hardship. Why Your Support Matters Education is one of the most powerful ways to break the cycle of poverty. Without support, many youth leaving care are forced to suspend their studies in order to work and survive. With the right assistance, however, they can stay in school, complete their education, and build stable, independent lives. Your support can help protect their right to learn and give them the chance to pursue the future they deserve. How Your Donation Helps Funds raised through this program will support youth without family care by providing: • Tuition and school-related fees • Books and learning materials • Tutoring and academic support • Professional social work guidance to support continued education Our social workers work closely with each young person to help them stay in school or return to their studies when life challenges arise. Together, we can ensure that financial hardship does not take away their opportunity to learn and grow. Your Impact Your generosity can make a meaningful difference: • TWD 500 helps provide books and learning materials • TWD 1,000 supports tutoring and academic assistance • TWD 2,000 helps cover tuition and essential education costs for a student Every donation helps a young person continue their education and move closer to a stable and hopeful future.
