“Olympians have a special capacity to use the power and neutrality of sport for the good of society, employing its unique potential to foster social cohesion wherever it is needed. Olympians also personify the values of excellence, teamwork and discipline – they can serve as role models to help bring communities together, across all ethnic, religious and social divides.”
Goals
The general aim of this Fund is to support Olympians and empower them to serve their local communities and society at large.
Activities
Activities may include:
- Scholarships, mentoring, skill building and educational workshops for Olympians, helping them transition to a life beyond competitive sport after retirement;
- Projects aimed at social cohesion, environment and sustainability, access to sport for all, promotion of physical activity and obesity prevention, benefiting the local communities of Olympians and society at large.
