The Sports Development Foundation commenced operations in 1995. It was established as an independent body to contribute to the development of our nation through sports.
Sport (and its promotion as entertainment) has emerged as a large global industry, driving other economic activities such as travel and hospitality, manufacturing, marketing, construction, media, health and personal care.
However, Jamaica has been relatively late in recognising the potential of our sporting prowess as a major income generator for individuals and the nation.
The nation is now reaping some of the rich rewards that come from an investment in sports, such as international recognition, and a heightened sense of national pride from sporting accomplishments.
The abundance of our natural talent, and an attractive ambience for the business of sport, have further enhanced our country brand.
Our contribution is made through our commitment to provide financial assistance for:
The provision of sports facilities throughout the island.
The funding of development programmes of the national governing bodies for sports.
Those organisations established to ensure the continuity of sports programmes at a community level.
