Description
The mass sports funding of the Bavarian sports associations is aimed at legally capable, non-profit clubs based in Bavaria, whose statutes include the purpose of promoting sports and which belong to an umbrella organization recognized by the State Ministry (BLSV, BVS Bayern, BSSB, or OSB) as well as at least one sports association or affiliated organization. This funding is continuously available as a grant and specifically supports training and further education measures, ongoing sports operations and sports organization, course operations, project funding, and sports events. Clubs can thereby further develop their club offerings, employ qualified coaches and instructors, and strengthen youth competitive sports at the regional level.
The funding program advances the common good by promoting the health of the population and preserving civil society structures in mass and youth competitive sports. In addition to traditional sports funding, the program places special emphasis on freedom from discrimination, safeguarding sports integrity, protection against violence, and the promotion of ecological, economic, and social sustainability. Applications are continuously reviewed, allowing clubs to flexibly align their financial planning with current sports projects. This creates long-term commitment that contributes to strengthening Bavarian sports and provides sustainable impulses for local sports offerings.
