Who are we for?
We're here for children and young people from low-income families, so they can still participate in football, music lessons, gymnastics, street dance, judo, theater classes, or other sporting or creative activities. For these children and young people, we cover their membership fees and, in some cases, supplies like football kits or dance shoes.
Not just because it's fun, but because it's important for personal development. At the club, you learn to work together, discover your strengths, make new friends, and gain more self-confidence.
In 2024, the Youth Fund for Sports & Culture involved 86,426 children and young people.
For parents
Don't have any money? But your child wants to play sports? Or take dance lessons, music lessons, swimming lessons, or something else? We cover the club's expenses. We also help if they need equipment like sportswear or dancing shoes.
For Multi-Powered Persons
You see the children and young people who need our help the most. Children who can't participate in football, music lessons, boxing, or theater classes for financial reasons.

For donors
We do not actively solicit donations from individuals. If you would like to support our work, you can make a donation or organize a campaign.
For municipalities
Poverty policy is a challenge for every municipality. Budget cuts and decentralization make it especially difficult to ensure that all children have the same opportunities. To prevent divisions and equip children with skills that will benefit them later in life, it's crucial that the growing group of children and young people from low-income families can (continue to) participate. The Youth Fund for Sports & Culture uses a proven method to ensure that all children and young people can participate.
