This is our opportunity to give back to the community that has given us so much. To help those who have fewer opportunities reach their dreams! I thrive to inspire as many souls as possible!
Nika Daalderop @nikadaalderop
As professional athletes, we receive incredible amounts of gear each season, which often are left untouched after. It is a great pleasure to give a new social purpose to these items.

These guys at Let's Keep The Ball Flying are doing a wonderful job! We should come together as a community and support them.

WHY 1%?In volleyball, even the smallest change, a mere 1%, can alter the course of a game. A shift in angle, a slightly more powerful serve, or a fraction of a second's advantage can be the difference between victory and defeat. In the same way, 1% can be a game-changer beyond the court. By donating just 1% of our salaries, we can make a profound difference in underprivileged communities. It's a small percentage, yet, as in volleyball, it can result in a powerful impact. This 1% contribution isn't just a number; it's a symbol of our commitment to making a tangible difference. It's a reminder that every fraction counts, whether on the court or in the lives of those less fortunate.

WHY VOLLEYBALL?Today, VB is the No.2 most popular team sport with over 770 million fans worldwide. Being a team sport is vital for individual growth and the development of society as a whole: VB is a social game as players have to count on teammates to score and win. VB encourages personal development, being easy to learn but hard to master; the sport makes players eager for continuous improvement. VB is the worlds' most gender-equal sport, allowing for professional careers for both females and males alike. VB does not require much to play, just a ball and a few friends. VB establishes in players the fundamental values of adherence to rules, fairness, and sportsmanship. For these reasons, VB aims to become the number one sport that serves the needs of families through social development and humanitarian programs.

HOW DO I CALCULATE MY 1%?Your pledge is calculated based on your annual salary if you are an individual or net revenues if you are a business. Private individual example: If you earned an annual (pre tax) salary EUR 50,000 in 2023 and pledged 1% to LKTBF, you would donate EUR 500 to our 1% movement in 2024. Business example: If your company generated net revenues of EUR 1 million in 2023 and pledged 1% to LKTBF, you would donate EUR 10,000 to our 1% movement in 2024.
-
IS MY PLEDGE FOREVER?No. The pledge is based on a gentleman's agreement between you and LKTBF. While we expect you to honour our agreement, there is no legal obligation for you to do so. You're free to walk away at any time. No questions asked.

CAN I CHANGE MY PLEDGE PERCENTAGE?Yes. You're welcome to change your pledge amount at any time.
