Welcome to the new web site of the International Athletic Foundation.

Through this important multi-media tool, the Foundation hopes to better communicate and disseminate its history, structure, philosophy, activities, grant policies and procedures to the World Athletics Family and general public. In a continuing process of review and reform, the Foundation feels this web site is a logical and practical step, also to promote its activities, past and present.

Through its support of a variety of programmes and projects including educational, scientific, technical, promotional and social activities, the Foundation strives to aid athletes, administrators, coaches, national athletics federations and others to practice all forms of athletics in the best of conditions.

Together with my colleagues on the Foundation Council, we are working to build on the legacy left us by the founding president, the late Primo Nebiolo, and to increase the profile and scope of the Foundation's activities in the future for the greater benefit of all who love and practice our sport.
