EMIL foundation

The Emil Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps disabled children and young people to play sports, mainly in the form of direct financial assistance. The Emil project was created in 2003 and after a successful start in 2009 it officially became an endowment fund. To date, NF Emil has supported over 8,000 individual athletes and sports teams and thus helped to improve the quality of specific young lives.

The basic mission is to be a symbol of effective help for disabled children, to help them overcome their own barriers through sport, find new friends and discover their "own" meaning in life.

It focuses its help mainly on children and young people under 30 years of age. These young people with physical, sensory or mental handicaps have a very limited opportunity to actively play sports, mainly due to the unavailability of the special aids they absolutely need for sports. It therefore accepts individual requests and selects target children whom it can help through its colleagues. They would like to contribute to improving the quality of life of disabled children, as well as their families and surroundings. While there are government programs to support sports and physical activities for children without disabilities, targeted systemic support for children with disabilities is virtually non-existent. And that is exactly what we are trying to change through NF Emil.
