A foundation Volunteering for sport was founded in December 2009. Its major goal is to act in the interest of creating and developing permanent sports volunteering institutions. According to the founders of the foundation lack of such institutions is a major barrier to the effective coordination of organization’s and volunteer’s activities in the field of non-profit sport.

In order to facilitate the recruitment within the sports voluntary service, the foundation is going to create instruments enablingcommunication between organisations and people interested in supporting them. European Sports Volunteering Portals an international Internet platform, a professional contact base which provides an opportunity to exchange experiences and information. Embassy of Sports Volunteering was set up to help local leaders of sports voluntary in activating their local community. The foundation organises special training courses and workshops that are addressed to people and organisations interested in developing cooperation within volunteering.

The foundation aims at promoting sports volunteering through the organisation and coorganisationof seminars, conferences and discussion panels during which the results of research conducted by the foundation will be presented. Once a year an award for a sports volunteer and sports organisation is going to be granted for commitment and supporting the movement of sports voluntary.
