Solidario

“Interwetten Solidario” pursues the mission of “standing up for one another”, just like the German word solidarity. The company tries to "share its joy and enthusiasm in sport with others." This project particularly supports athletes who are not always in the public eye, but who are nonetheless active in sport with no less enthusiasm and commitment.

The idea for the project came from a joint campaign with RCD Espanyol Barcelona. A calendar project to support children with Down syndrome was implemented here in 2008 . The term "Solidario" originates from this campaign and was still used.

Aside from sport and the public spotlight, Interwetten is also committed to a good cause and supports, for example, the St. Anna Children's Hospital, the Amnesty International organization and the Licht ins Dunkel campaign . In addition, the Austrian wheelchair basketball club "Sitting Bulls" has been financially supported by Interwetten since 2006.

Heartbeat Foundation

Since the beginning of 2013, Interwetten has been supporting the Heartbeat Foundation, an Austrian non-profit organization that sees itself as a “platform in the fight against sudden cardiac arrest in sport”. The Heartbeat Foundation's manifesto states:

“Heartbeat stands for a future in which there is no sudden cardiac death in sport. Heartbeat loves sport and every athlete. Heartbeat wants more attention to the insidious cause of death of sudden cardiac death, to which (too) many apparently healthy people have already fallen victim, especially in sport. "

- Heartbeat Foundation : Manifest

The Heartbeat Foundation aims to equip as many sports facilities as possible with automated external defibrillators (AED); including setup, maintenance and training for athletes, trainers and first aiders to enable optimal use in an emergency. In Germany, around 60,000 people die of sudden cardiac death every year; around 15,000 people in Austria. The use of defibrillators in the first three minutes increases the probability of survival by 70 percent.

According to the Heartbeat Foundation, donations received are invested in projects designed by the advisory board to promote sports facilities. The funded projects are not subject to any geographical or other restrictions.
