Athlete Support (Berlin Sports Aid) – Berlin Sports Foundation

The athlete support program of the Berlin Sports Foundation assists aspiring elite athletes residing and training in Berlin with annual grants of up to €2,500. The goal is to provide sustainable support to young talents in elite sports-related activities, whether in training, courses, or competitions. A prerequisite for funding is membership in a Berlin-based club as well as participation in the respective discipline within a performance center or in close coordination with the responsible coach. Furthermore, applicants must demonstrate a gross income of no more than €25,000 per year and acknowledge both national and international anti-doping regulations.

Interested junior athletes can submit applications throughout the year, as there are no fixed deadlines. Through straightforward application procedures and a flexible funding period, young athletes regularly gain planning security to effectively advance their sporting careers. With this, the Berlin Sports Foundation provides an important impetus for both grassroots and elite sports in the capital region and offers ambitious talents the opportunity to establish themselves on the national and international stage.
