Launching SALTO FOUNDATION marks a new chapter in SALTO WECOSYSTEM’s longstanding commitment to social responsibility. It’s the next step in our purpose to drive positive change through the transformative power of sport. 

Today, we are proud to announce the official launch of SALTO FOUNDATION new website to expand support to empowering children and para athletes around the globe through education and sports. Fueled by our vision to promote social inclusion and foster sustainable positive change, SALTO FOUNDATION seeks to empower people with disabilities and other disadvantaged groups through sports.  

Building on over 25 years of philanthropic initiatives through our Free2Move program, this new phase of SALTO WECOSYSTEM’s social efforts seeks to amplify impact, deepen community engagement, and continue leveraging sport to inspire progress. Since its inception, Free2Move has mobilised our staff and shareholders around projects supporting inclusion, equality, and access to opportunity.  

"I’m thrilled to be involved in building SALTO FOUNDATION, a socially focused project that’s an old dream but a new adventure. We firmly believe in supporting positive change and empowering individuals who are dedicated to making a difference in society." – Javier Roquero, Salto Co-Founder and Chairman of the Salto Foundation.

SALTO FOUNDATION is the next step in that journey, bringing a fresh, strategic focus to our mission – harnessing the potential of sports as a catalyst for social transformation. 

"I am delighted to have the opportunity to work even closer with our foundation, which plays an instrumental role in our SALTO WECOSYTEM companies. SALTO FOUNDATION is the latest step in the ambitious journey that Salto, Gantner, and Vintia have been on from our earliest days, looking to build a more inclusive society and sustainable future."

Marc Gomez, CEO SALTO WECOSYSTEM

Pillars for change 

At SALTO FOUNDATION, we will centre our work around two fundamental pillars:

  • Access to Sports, where we actively support inclusive sports projects and collaborate with high-potential para sport athletes worldwide to promote accessibility, visibility, and opportunity for all.
  • Sports for Change, developing long-term, systemic initiatives that leverage sports to foster social inclusion and cohesion, empowerment, and lasting, meaningful impact in disadvantaged communities.

By working in these key focus areas, we aim to nurture change, identify inspiring talent, and support passionate change-makers ready to make a difference. 

Highlighting positive impact

The launch of SALTO FOUNDATION is complemented by the release of a dedicated website – a showcase for the organization’s purpose, latest news, key focus areas, and ongoing impact projects. It emphasizes our shift away from traditional charitable donations toward more sustainable funding models, strategic partnerships, and tangible community outcomes. 
 
SALTO WECOSYSTEM’s commitment to building a brighter future and a healthier planet remains steadfast. We’re confident the revamped structure and strategic focus will give new impetus to our core social mission. From empowering a new generation of para-athletes to driving sustainable and impactful social innovation at every level, the new SALTO FOUNDATION is perfectly positioned to pursue our primary goal – creating a more inclusive, equitable, and accessible future for all through sport.
