Description
The Alexander Otto Sports Foundation was established in 2006 with the aim of sustainably strengthening sports in Hamburg. The program targets non-profit organizations and educational institutions that wish to implement sports projects with an innovative and sustainable approach. Through grants, it primarily supports acquisition, investment, and operational costs to promote facilities and initiatives in the sports sector. Projects that reach a broad circle of athletes in Hamburg are supported, with cultural and media-related aspects also incorporated into the funding strategy. The continuous application process offers a flexible opportunity to submit projects whenever additional funding is needed.
The program focuses on sustainable sports promotion by primarily supporting projects in which the applicants' own commitment plays a central role. Eligible applicants under the Alexander Otto Sports Foundation criteria must demonstrate a funding gap that cannot be covered solely by their own resources or by municipal funding such as that from the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The decision to allocate funds is based on criteria such as sustainability, project relevance, and the demonstrated personal commitment of the applicants. Particular importance is placed on engagement in youth sports work and grassroots sports, as these areas significantly contribute to social integration and health promotion.
The Alexander Otto Sports Foundation supports a wide range of measures, from equipping and operating sports facilities to organizing sporting events. A special focus is placed on supporting projects that achieve more than just short-term results and contribute to the long-term strengthening of sports in the metropolitan city of Hamburg. Non-profit sports clubs and schools benefit from a transparent application process, as only one funding application needs to be submitted to access financial grants. Through this strategic orientation, sports in Hamburg receive a sustainable boost that, in addition to improving facilities, also intensifies social engagement and integration within the sports sector. The Alexander Otto Sports Foundation thus offers an attractive platform to successfully implement innovative and inclusive sports projects.
