Sozialstiftung des Hessischen Fußballs

The Social Foundation of Hessian Football (SHF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting social activities in football. Its primary focus is on violence prevention, integration, and the promotion of fair play. The foundation was established with funds from the proceeds of the 2006 World Cup, which the German Football Association distributed among its 21 regional associations. Additional financial resources come from fines imposed by the judicial bodies of the Hessian Football Association (HFV). These funds are specifically allocated for violence prevention. The foundation operates on a voluntary basis and acquires additional resources from third parties to fulfill its purpose. It relies on support from the business sector, public authorities, and private individuals who have a special connection to football.

The foundation believes in the unifying power of sport and aims to make a sports-political statement through its work. It provides a platform for all Hessian football clubs and institutions that wish to engage in fair play and supports them in their efforts.
