Handball connects. We strengthen the bond between children, parents, coaches and the club.
Every child should be able to play – regardless of the family's budget.
As a registered association we work voluntarily, charitably and accountably.
In recent years the handball section of SV Waldhof Mannheim has seen a welcome influx of children and young people. But as the number of teams grew, so did the challenges: equipment has to be bought, hall times organised, tournaments financed and coaches supported. It soon became clear that the section needed a reliable partner to help with exactly these things.
Out of this conviction, dedicated parents joined forces in 2026 and founded the Förderverein Handball beim SV Waldhof Mannheim e.V. The founding assembly adopted the statutes on 12 May 2026, and registration in the register of associations at the Local Court of Mannheim followed on 27 July 2026 under number VR 704842.
Since then we have been working to strengthen the handball section step by step. We see ourselves as a bridge between parents, section and club – and as a community that pitches in when support is needed. It is important to us that our work remains transparent and that all funds flow verifiably to where they create the greatest benefit for young players.
The Förderverein Handball beim SV Waldhof Mannheim e.V. is a legally independent, charitable association. It supports the handball section of SV Waldhof Mannheim 07 e.V. and provides funding exclusively for the statutory purposes of handball – in particular children's and youth work.
As an independent supporting association we collect membership fees and donations and pass them on to the handball section for their intended purpose. In this way we create a reliable financial basis for young handball talent at SV Waldhof Mannheim.
The association is recognised as charitable by the Mannheim-Neckarstadt tax office (separate assessment pursuant to § 60a AO dated 4 September 2026). The purpose of the association is the promotion of sport (§ 52 (2) sentence 1 no. 21 AO). Tax number: 37006/25032.
The association was founded in 2026 by dedicated parents of our youth players to make a difference for young handball talent together.
