The Finnish Olympic Committee Support Foundation (Olympic Fund) was established in 2018. The new Olympic Fund provides promising athletes with genuine opportunities to achieve international success.The fund proceeds are used to improve athletes' training conditions and socioeconomic position and support coaching activities.Internationally competitive sports academies offer an environment where athletes can focus on what matters. The Olympic Fund provides businesses with an entirely new way of supporting Finnish top level sports. The sums donated by businesses increase the fund's capital, and the returns on invested capital are used to coach promising athletes and improving their training conditions. The fund's basic capital will never be directly used, so the donation will provide a permanent benefit. The added support ensures that athletes have the opportunity to reach the very top of their respective sports. Finland needs internationally competitive athletes, as they serve as role models for young people. International success in sports also fosters a sense of unity and confidence in the future among the Finnish population. A donation to the Olympic Fund is a gift to the future of Finnish sports and society at large.
