Solibad is above all the contraction of "Badminton and Solidarity" - Solibad is therefore a charitable association around the values of sport and solidarity. Birth "Solibad - Badminton Without Borders", a non-profit association under the 1901 law was born on December 10, 2009, as a strong symbol since it is the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Solibad obtained approval as an Association of General Interest in March 2014. The objective of our association is to pool human and financial resources within the badminton community in France and internationally, in order to carry out and support humanitarian projects.
On December 10, 2024, we celebrate Solibad's 15th anniversary, with, always, this desire to do things differently, without spending money on administration and to return all donations to our programs. This bet, a little crazy, continues to be kept.
In 15 years, more than €850,000 has been collected, in France and abroad. 25 programs in 16 countries have benefited from the support of our association, with nearly 6,000 children directly impacted by our actions on the ground.
Our philosophy is simple: Solibad's action is intended to be original, to have fun in order to raise funds and provide financial or material assistance to populations in difficulty. Giving must be a pleasure and a way to share and unite the entire badminton community. It is not about feeling less guilty, but about giving while having fun. An epicurean vision of sharing and solidarity.
Concretely, Solibad helps to set up a range of actions intended for all the players in the world of badminton, in France and abroad: players, clubs, private partners, public institutions, all are solicited through fundraising actions for our projects: annual contributions, auctions, organization of various events (demonstrations, galas, flea markets, tournaments, etc.), with the signing of a Solibad Charter by the institutions that support us (clubs, leagues, committees, federations, etc.)
The programs and actions supported are chosen with great care by the team, in order to ensure that the aid collected is used in a relevant and effective manner to improve the quality of life of the targeted populations. All this – and this is one of the keys to our action – by putting all the funds collected directly into the service of the projects. Administrative costs are reduced to the strict minimum and deducted from the profits generated by the association's sales. All donations therefore go into the field.
Our philosophy is also the following motto: "do things seriously, without taking yourself seriously". Because we believe that a little lightness in form does not subject you to rigor in substance. And our history has proven to us that we are on a nice path, without taking ourselves seriously... so we are going
