International ALLIANCE with Luis figo Foundation

The Luís Figo Foundation, whose head office can be found in Lisbon, was founded by means of public deed on the 13 of March 2003, at Lisbon’s 5th Notary as a Legal Individual of Private Law, as non-profit organization, able to create Delegations or other forms of representation here or abroad.

The establishment of the Luís Figo Foundation has materialized the attitude of citizenship and social responsibility that Luís Figo has always assumed throughout his career, reflecting his concern to support relevant causes in Portugal and abroad.

Since its creation, the Luís Figo Foundation has been developing relevant and thorough work in the field of social intervention in order to achieve the goals that are at its origin and are enshrined in its statutes.

Acting in cooperation with civil society organizations, private companies, and governmental bodies, the Luís Figo Foundation develops its activities in the areas of Health, Education, Sports, and Social Integration.

The Luís Figo Foundation, despite being a legally recognized entity, does not enjoy any status of public utility, and therefore does not benefit, nor has ever benefited from any support or fund of a public nature, nor any tax or welfare exemption or reduction.

Luís Figo is the founder and face of the Foundation with his name.

The Luís Figo Foundation’s mission is based on the development, implementation and collaboration in causes, projects and initiatives that aim to contribute to the improvement of living conditions and the creation of opportunities for the most disadvantaged children and young people. Whether they are in this condition due to illness, with or without disabilities, social exclusion or due to their socio-economic situation.

To be a reference as an entity promoting social cohesion and integration, generating a positive social impact in the construction of a more humanist society.
