We know what sport can give. Now we want to give back.
A&B Uddenäs Idrottsfond is a non-profit association in Lund, Sweden. We award grants, with a focus on children and young people.
Our aim
Sport and club life have given us community, joy and lifelong friends over many years. Thanks to many successful years as entrepreneurs, we are now able to give something back.
Sport teaches us to win with humility and lose with our heads held high. It gives community, belonging and friendships that last a lifetime. But far from everyone gets the same chance. Talent and drive are everywhere. Opportunities are not.
That is why we started A&B Uddenäs Idrottsfond. We want to help young people grow in their passion, whatever their circumstances. It might be a competition trip, equipment, a camp or a push the whole team dreams of. We support children and young people, as well as teams and clubs in Lund. The passion does not have to be sport.
We also want to be there for those who have had to step away because of injury or illness. A dream does not disappear just because the body says no.
No application is too small. What matters is not the amount but what it means to the person applying. We cannot say yes to everyone, but we promise to read every application with the same commitment.

Our purpose
According to our statutes, the fund promotes sport, culture, education, the care of children and young people, social welfare or other comparable public-benefit activities.
- The focus is on children and young people connected to Lund, both those who are active and those who can no longer be active because of injury or illness.
- Sports clubs in Lund and individuals connected to the municipality can apply.
- There is no requirement for the recipient to be, or to have been, active in a particular sport or club.
- The association does not operate for profit and does not distribute profits to members or the board.
More gifts, more young people get their chance
The fund already has its own capital to award grants from, but every donation lets us say yes to more children, young people, teams and clubs. We gratefully accept contributions from both individuals and companies. 100% of donations go to the fund’s purpose, because the association’s costs are already covered.

How we work
Fair
Every application is assessed against the same criteria. A simple application counts as much as a polished one.
Discreet
We only ask for what we need and handle all information with care.
Broad
We want to help as many as possible, which is why previous grants are taken into account.
