K&H Group pays special attention to sports as part of its corporate social responsibility and specifically its community engagement efforts. Since commitment, determination and excellence are key priorities for K&H, it was a natural choice for us to become a long-term and large-scale sponsor of sports.
Financial Institution of the Hungarian Paralympic Team
K&H is committed to sponsoring the sports life of Hungary, in which Paralympians are prominent members, yet receive less attention and support than their healthy peers, in spite of their equivalent or even superior performance and results. K&H Group has been a sponsor of the Hungarian Paralympic Team since July 2006, providing it with financial services and supporting Paralympians in their training and preparations.
Our cooperation agreement, extended in 2021, states that K&H continues to serve as sponsor of the Hungarian Paralympic Committee and ‘Financial Institution of the Hungarian Paralympic Team’. We provide financial services to the organisation and the Paralympians, helping them prepare for international competitions with a secure background and without any disruptions.
With its high-quality services and commitment to Hungarian sports, K&H Group is a reliable partner for Hungarian Paralympians.

K&H Go! Paralympic Grant Programme
In addition to sponsoring the Hungarian Paralympic Committee, K&H has been providing individual support to Paralympians with extraordinary talent since 2007, and also recognised the work of their helpers since 2015 through the K&H Go! Paralympic Grant Programme. Athletes need to work hard to prepare for competitions, which is impossible without a stable mental and financial background. Under our grant programme, every year three outstanding athletes are awarded gross HUF 1 million each. Grant winners in three categories – adult, promising and helper – are selected by a professional jury. Since the launch of the programme, 37 athletes including 29 para-athletes and 8 helpers received a total of HUF 32 million.
Winners of the K&H go! paralympic grant programme in 2024:
adult category: Alexa Szvitacs, table tennis
promising category: Bence Mocsári, triathlon
helper category: Viktória Mesteri, sword play
K&H go! PE teacher of the year
Besides sponsoring top athletes, K&H also focuses on promoting healthy lifestyles among young people. In 2024, we signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Active Schools Programme and launched the initiative “K&H Go! PE Teacher of the Year” with the aim of celebrating physical education teachers whose motivation and enjoyable classes instil a love of exercise in children.
The programme invited the general public to nominate their favourite PE teachers. The teachers with the most votes entered the county stage of the competition in three categories:
• PE teachers from schools with 200 or less pupils,
• PE teachers from schools with more than 200 pupils, and
• young PE teachers under 30 years of age.
The teachers having received the most votes in their respective counties in the above categories have been awarded the “K&H Go! PE Teacher of the Year” county title. The county winners are going on to compete for the national title. The votes can be cast on the websites of county newspapers until 10 June. The category winners will receive the “K&H Go! PE Teacher of the Year” national awards.
support for K&H eSports
We consider e-sports the most innovative and most dynamically developing branch of sports. Therefore, we want to be the reference here too by supporting dedication, perseverance and outstanding performance. We have been sponsoring Hungarian talents with aspirations in e-sports ever since the inception of the field.
