The Olympic Movement generates revenue through several programmes. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) manages broadcast partnerships, the TOP worldwide sponsorship programme and the IOC official supplier and licensing programme. In addition, the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (OCOGs) and International Federations (IFs) generate revenue through their own respective commercial programmes.
The IOC coordinates Olympic marketing programmes with the following objectives:
• To generate revenue to be distributed throughout the entire Olympic Movement – including the OCOGs, the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and their continental associations, the International Federations (IFs) and other recognised international sports organisations – and to provide financial support for sport in emerging nations.
• To build on the successful activities developed by each Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG) and thereby eliminate the need to recreate the marketing structure with each Olympic Games.
• To ensure that the Olympic Games can be experienced by the maximum number of people throughout the world
principally via broadcast coverage.
• To protect and promote the equity that is inherent in the Olympic image and ideals.
• To control and limit the commercialisation of the Olympic Games.
• To create and maintain long-term marketing programmes.
• To enlist the support of Olympic marketing partners in the promotion of the Olympic ideals.
Of its revenues, the IOC distributes 90% to organisations throughout the Olympic Movement, in order to support the staging of the Olympic Games and to promote the worldwide development of sport. This means that every day the equivalent of over USD 3.4 million is distributed by the IOC to support athletes and sports organisations at all levels around the world.

The Olympic Charter is the codification of the fundamental principles of Olympism, rules and bye-laws adopted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It governs the organisation, actions and functioning of the Olympic Movement and establishes the conditions for the celebration of the Olympic Games.
The Olympic Charter serves as statutes for the IOC and defines the main reciprocal rights and obligations of the three main constituents of the Olympic Movement, namely the IOC, the International Federations and the National Olympic Committees, as well as the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games, all of which are required to comply with the Olympic Charter.
A new version of the Olympic Charter has been issued in June 2019, with changes that reflect the new procedure for bidding and designating Olympic Games hosts. Notably, the Charter no longer refers to "Host City" but to "Host", there is no longer a "Host City Contract" but an "Olympic Host Contract" and there is no longer any "The Evaluation Commissions for Candidates Cities" but "The Future Host Commissions".
You can access the new version of the Charter on the Olympic World Library here https://bit.ly/2Kl4pMx. All previous editions are available on this page here https://bit.ly/2pNxaFU.
