Agile Austria Conference — a conference with ❤️

Your donations help!

The Agile Austria Conference is not only about sharing knowledge and networking, but also about making a positive social impact. Already in 2021, we, the organizers, decided to donate all net proceeds from ticket and sponsorship revenues to charity. We are proud that Agile Austria Conference is not only a leading event for agile, but also a charity event that has a real impact on people’s lives – especially young ones.

2026 we're supporting Hobby Lobby Styria a Project from LebensGroß

Meaningful leisure activities should not be a privilege – that’s why Hobby Lobby Styria offers free recreational programs to more than 300 children and young people from socioeconomically disadvantaged families in Graz and the surrounding area. In these courses, participants strengthen their skills and develop new abilities that support their further educational and professional paths. Hobby Lobby participants can also be trained as co-instructors through a Youth Leaders Program, enabling them to pass on their knowledge to other children. This learning outside of school is essential for the personal development of young people.

“Lack of financial resources often systematically excludes children and young people from paid leisure activities and, as a result, from informal education. Our vision is a world in which education happens anytime and anywhere. Every child should have the same opportunities to discover and realize their potential. We are grateful that AAC 2026 supports the project Hobby Lobby Styria,” says Mag. Susanne Maurer-Aldrian, Managing Director of LebensGroß GmbH.

Projects we have already supported

2025: RAINBOWS

Donation sum: € 10.000,--

For over 30 years, RAINBOWS has been supporting children and young people across Austria as they cope with the separation or divorce of their parents or the loss of a loved one. During these challenging times, they experience a rollercoaster of emotions: grief, anger, despair, and fear are constant companions for these children.

“Thanks to the generous donation, children and young people whose parents could not afford it financially are also able to take part in our programs,” says Mag. Dagmar Bojdunyk-Rack, Managing Director of RAINBOWS Austria.

2023: Stiftung Kindertraum

Donation sum: € 18.000,--

The Kindertraum Foundation focuses on the dreams of children with serious illnesses or disabilities. The range of children’s dreams is as diverse as the children themselves – from more independence (thanks to an assistance dog) to increased freedom of movement (with the help of a disability-friendly bicycle).

Maximilian’s dream came true thanks to our donation! A diabetic alert dog now stands faithfully by his side and warns him of impending hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.

2022: Caritas Schlupfhaus

Donation sum: € 14.000,--

The Schlupfhaus offers adolescents and young adults easily accessible, free emergency assistance. The facility can also be used as an emergency sleeping place (without staying overnight). Schlupfhaus is open 365 days a year to anyone between the ages of 12 and 21.

“With this money we can continue our project Schlupfhaus “walk in … take away” next year guaranteed,” says Gabriele Waerder, director of the Schlupfhaus.

2021: Children's Village Pirka

Donation sum: € 8.000,--

A loving home for every child. This is what SOS Children’s Villages is committed to in Austria and around the world. Children and adolescents who, cannot live with their families either temporarily or long-term, find stable structures, security and reliable relationships at SOS Children’s Villages.

Thanks to our donation, the renovation at the SOS Children’s Village student residence in Pirka-Seiersberg was completed successfully. The children and young people feel like home in their newly designed temporary home.
