The ISPO Impact Foundation supports organisations using sport and outdoors activities to create environmental and social impact.

  • Actively protect and restore threatened biodiversity and natural environments connected to sport and outdoor recreation.

  • Reduce environmental pressures from outdoor activities.

  • Promote responsible stewardship of landscapes, waters and ecosystems.

  • Involve climate protection & adaptation; renewable energy; repair, longevity & circular economy.

  • Tackle chemical and microfibre pollution; reducing product waste and landfill.

  • Foster stronger connections between people and nature.

Inclusive participation:

  • Inspire and enable wider participation in outdoor recreation and sport across communities.

  • Encourage sustained, long-term engagement in active and healthy lifestyles.

  • Create and promote safe, welcoming and enjoyable environments for participation.

  • Work to identify and remove barriers, such as those related to gender, ethnicity, ability, income, sexuality or background, that prevent full and equal access for all.

  • Connect people to nature and promote responsible stewardship of the outdoors.

There are 4 different amounts you can apply for:

  • Up to €2,000: Supporting grassroots initiatives such as community clubs, schools or local organisations, most likely for one off equipment purchases, transport, trips or venue hire.
