Divi & Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusives invites guests to give back to the local Aruba community through its One Dollar a Day Donation Program within the Divi Impact Foundation. Guests at either Divi Aruba All Inclusive or Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive can donate $1, or as much as they choose, every day of their stay with 100% of the funds going directly to the Divi Impact Foundation. While the Divi Impact Foundation has chapters at all of five Divi properties in Aruba, the One Dollar a Day Donation Program is available only for guests staying at Divi Aruba All Inclusive and Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive. 

In addition to the One Dollar A Day Program, employees across all the Divi Resorts properties in Aruba can participate in a paycheck contribution program. Employees can donate a minimum of $3 per paycheck to the Foundation, which is then matched by Divi Resorts and Divi & Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusives.

Founded in 2010 by a group of Divi Resorts employees, the Divi Impact Foundation was formed with the vision to inspire and motivate company leaders, owners, guests and employees to donate time, money and resources to help the community. 

“Starting with 47 employees back in 2010, the Foundation is now comprised of over 500 employees,” shares Ricardo Vrolijk, President of the Divi Impact Foundation. “It is incredible to see the growth of our organization and the level of generosity coming from both our team members and guests. We look forward to continuing to build upon our mission of giving back to Aruba and its people.” 

Through the One Dollar a Day and the Paycheck Contribution programs, the Divi Impact Foundation has raised over $400,000 since 2019. These funds go directly back to the greater Aruba community and benefit causes ranging from local schools, scholarship programs, food drives, green initiatives, arts and culture programming and more. 

A sampling of annual programs that the Divi Impact Foundation gives back to includes:

  • Adopt a School Program (Renovations + maintenance of a public school)
  • Back to School Program (School supplies and uniform donations)
  • Scholarship Program (Available for employee children older than 18 years old attending universities to help cover tuition costs and other boarding expenses)
  • Annual National Book Festival (Sponsor book donations to local elementary schools during the event)
  • Elderly Appreciation Program (Food donations)
  • Arts and Sports Programming (Sponsor sports teams and collaborate with arts institutions and/or Programs)
  • Health Awareness Programs (Collaborate with Divi Resorts and Grape Holding to sponsor additional health awareness resources to the teams) 

We at Divi & Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusives look forward to your visit and hope you love the island as much as we do. If you do choose to donate during your stay with us the gift will be greatly appreciated and will improve the island and the lives of those who live here.
