ALDI’s “Scheine für Vereine” Program: How to Support Your Child’s Club with Vouchers

In Germany, “Scheine für Vereine” (vouchers for clubs) encourages people to support sports clubs and community organizations through everyday shopping. While the program originally became well known through REWE, similar initiatives have expanded— including ALDI Süd, which supports thousands of local organizations directly. Here is how this initiative works to provide automatic and ongoing support for your child’s club:

How do you support clubs through ALDI?

1) Annual participation:
During a specific period each year (often May–June), customers receive a support voucher for spending a certain amount—such as every €20 or €15, depending on the local campaign.
Vouchers are issued after checkout, then collected and redeemed via online voting, using codes provided in-store or online.

2) Choosing the club:
Families can support their child’s club directly via the website or app by selecting the club name or area—and ALDI Süd often shows nearby clubs automatically.
Participation is open to locally registered non-profit clubs, such as school sports clubs or neighborhood teams.

3) How funding is distributed:
After the campaign ends, ALDI Süd runs an online vote to select three clubs within each local store area.
A total of €3,000 per store is then distributed to the winners:

• 1st place: €1,500

• 2nd place: €1,000

• 3rd place: €500

Why does this help families with children?

• Direct funding for equipment and activities: money goes straight into children’s programs.

• Easy to join with no extra cost: you shop as usual and collect vouchers.

• Community impact: every vote helps strengthen the club and improve opportunities for kids.

• More visibility for the club and greater community engagement.

Steps for parents to participate

• Check the campaign period: follow ALDI announcements (usually May–June).

• Collect vouchers with each purchase above the published threshold (e.g., every €20).

• Explain the idea to your child so they help collect vouchers from family and neighbors.

• Enter the codes on the campaign site and select your child’s club.

• Encourage others to vote for the same club to boost its chances.

• Follow the results and celebrate the financial support if the club ranks in the top three.
