Bonito joins the call for smarter sport funding in Sweden

Today, we co-signed a debate article in Aftonbladet, Sweden's largest newspaper, alongside several member organizations of Folkrörelsen.

The article asks a question that goes to the heart of public health policy: 
We know what works in sports and physical activity. So why don't we fund it?

This is close to our hearts at Bonito Foundation and the answer lies in prioritizing approaches that have proven themselves: low barriers to participation, local presence, flexible organizing, and long-term relationships with the people who need it most. 
These are the methods that bring sport and movement to those furthest from it — yet they remain chronically underfunded.

With Sweden's 2026 election on the horizon, this is exactly the kind of structural conversation that needs to happen.
