FC Barcelona Foundation

FC Barcelona Foundation is the entity through which FC Barcelona conveys its corporate social responsibility. Since its foundation in 1994, the FC Barcelona Foundation has helped people take part in the many social, cultural and sporting activities that the Club has carried out, a reflection of an advanced society that has found in the Club and the Foundation the ideal vehicle for such activities.

FC Barcelona Foundation is committed with the SDGs as the main framework of the Foundation’s core activities. The Foundation’s Strategic Plan, programmes, partnerships and campaigns are aligned with the SDGs, specially the 4^th (Quality Education), the 5^th (Gender Equality), the 10^th (Reduced Inequalities) and the 17^th (Partnerships for the Goals). In particular, the Foundation’s specific framework of action is Sport for Development. All work revolves around the idea of Sport as a tool to prevent violence, improve social inclusion of vulnerable groups and improve the access to education.
