Tripartite agreement on a contribution to the development of sports for under-18s 

An agreement is in effect for the year 2021 between the Hafnarfjörður Sports Association, Rio Tinto and the Municipality of Hafnarfjörður. Rio Tinto and the City of Hafnarfjörður each contribute 10 million króna per year to the partnership to support children's and youth sports in Hafnarfjörður. In total, 12 million króna was allocated in the first distribution of the year from the fund, or 60%, based on the number of members who train regularly in the clubs and for equality incentives. 40% of the grant is allocated late in the year. Applications were invited from ÍBH member clubs in April, and 13 clubs applied for support from the fund.  An agreement on the allocation of sports grants has been in force since 2001. The amount allocated to each club is determined by the equality incentive and the number of members who train regularly.
