Alfeld Sports – Alfeld Citizens' Foundation

The BürgerStiftung Alfeld supports "Alfeld Sports," an all-day community event organized by the City Youth Council that brings sports and physical activity to public spaces in the upper park areas, the seminar parking lot, Bornstraße, and the playground on Kalandstraße. The goal is to offer visitors of all ages a varied program featuring sporting activities, workshops, and information booths that inspire a healthy and active lifestyle. The focus is not only on football, basketball, and running activities but also on sport-related events such as dance, yoga, and skill courses. As a grant provider, the foundation covers material costs, rental fees, and advertising expenses to ensure barrier-free and low-threshold participation for all involved.

The funding targets non-profit organizations and public institutions from Lower Saxony that wish to implement sports, children and youth, health, or cultural and social projects. With a duration of one month, "Alfeld Sports" supports the local community, strengthens civic engagement, and promotes sustainable movement opportunities. The open application process allows for a flexible start date, enabling project leaders to submit their plans at any time. The project raises awareness of the importance of physical activity, creates spaces for social interaction, and underscores the BürgerStiftung Alfeld’s commitment to a healthy and active neighborhood. Interested initiatives can continuously apply for grants to jointly bring the fascination of sports in public spaces to life.
