Description

The Fit for Life Foundation supports healthy aging and independent mobility of older people in rapidly aging societies worldwide. Through our annual Fit for Life Awards program, we provide financial support and international visibility to a broad range of innovative, impactful projects with a focus on middle age (40+) and old age (65+). We work closely with other like-minded foundations, associations and institutions to scale up the scope and impact of our grants and build global awareness of the importance of physical activity for a healthy old age. Fit for Life Foundation was established in 2020 as a charitable foundation based in Liechtenstein.

Objectives

Raise awareness - We spread the message about the importance of physical fitness for long-term health at a time of increased longevity, and share expert advice and resources. Promote life-long fitness - We support impactful, innovative solutions that promote life-long health and fitness among older (65+) and middle-aged people (40+), with a focus on independent mobility. Reduce need for old-age care - Older people who are healthy and independently mobile are more likely to be able to age in place, reducing the need for long-term residential care.
