Together for greater inclusion

Opportunities for all

Fewer barriers, more opportunities

Together with PSD Bank West eG and its “VEREINT!” foundation, we are harnessing the unifying power of sport to promote equal opportunity for children and young people and to take on social responsibility. This partnership plays a significant role in supporting the United Nations’ SDG 10, “Reduced Inequalities,” and in lowering societal barriers.

As a reliable partner in the Bonn, Cologne, Aachen, and Trier regions and as dedicated supporters of youth soccer, PSD Bank West eG and KOMM MIT are committed to enabling young people to participate in sports and cultural activities, regardless of their social background. The joint funding is intended specifically for children from families with limited financial means, ensuring that their children can also participate in KOMM MIT’s intercultural sporting events.

Philipp Reinartz, Managing Director of KOMM MIT, highlights the social significance of this partnership: “With the support of PSD Bank West eG, we can offer more children the chance to take part in our international sporting events and foster intercultural encounters. This contribution directly benefits the teams and clubs in our region and strengthens the community.”

Since its founding, PSD Bank West eG has been committed to strong social responsibility. Together with its “VEREINT!” foundation, it aims to further expand these values through its cooperation with KOMM MIT and create lasting change. Christian Dorn, member of the Board of Management at PSD Bank West eG and Managing Director of the foundation, explains: “Through this collaboration, we are making an active contribution to youth development. By providing financial support to clubs, we are fostering sustainable, positive progress in both sports and society.”

The three-year partnership involves not only financial support but also close collaboration in communications and public relations to spread the message of an open and inclusive society through sport. The funding will go to clubs and teams in the Aachen, Cologne, Bonn, and Trier areas, enabling them to participate in intercultural sporting events.

This cooperation supports the United Nations’ “Football For The Goals” initiative and fulfills SDG 10, “Reduced Inequalities,” by promoting equal opportunity and advancing intercultural understanding. In line with the KOMM MIT mission, “ALLTOGETHER – For a peaceful coexistence,” PSD Bank West eG, the Stiftung Vereint! foundation, and KOMM MIT are working together to ensure that children and young people, regardless of their social or cultural background, can participate in international sporting events with an Olympic spirit.
