Support the Global Paralympic Movement

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) counts on the financial support of the general public in order to fulfil our vision and mission.  We aim to bring sports to as many persons with a disability around the world as possible, in particular youth. Our goal is also to promote the talents and achievements of Paralympic athletes as a showcase for the potential of persons with a disability to be full and active members of society. 

We are convinced that if the IPC can communicate the inspiration and excitement of the Paralympic Games and Paralympic Sports, we can help break down the barriers of discrimination and exclusion faced by the vast majority of the 600 million persons with a disability around the world.

Your kind donation will be used by the IPC to support programmes in a number of areas, including:

• Grassroot activities to provide equipment, facilities and training to athletes with a disability, in particular young athletes and those in developing countries
• The provision of high-quality sporting opportunities for Paralympic athletes around the world in various sports and in all disability groups
• Education projects in schools to promote the benefits of sports, as well as to teach children about the rights and potential of persons with a disability
• Communication campaigns to disseminate the positive values and messages of the IPC and the Paralympic Movement to as large a worldwide audience as possible
• Research projects to find innovative ways to increase participation in Paralympic sports, especially by athletes with high support needs
   
  

Your generous contribution to the IPC is greatly appreciated.
