Funding of the CLUB Foundation at the Hamburger and Germania Rowing Club

The CLUB Foundation within the Hamburger und Germania Rowing Club continuously promotes rowing in Hamburg by specifically strengthening and further developing non-profit structures. It provides grants to maintain the club’s listed infrastructure – particularly the traditional boathouse and its technical equipment. Furthermore, it supports the expansion and upkeep of a modern fleet of boats that meets the demands of competitive rowing as well as the needs of recreational rowing. Both young and experienced rowers equally benefit from this funding, which ensures access to quality-assured training conditions and modern sports equipment. Applications can be submitted to the foundation board on an ongoing basis, enabling non-profit projects within the club environment to be implemented promptly.

The focus of funding decisions is on the sustainable preservation of the club’s assets and the strengthening of performance capacity as well as community in recreational sports. The assessment primarily considers the contribution to the club’s long-term existence and the added value for competitive teams and leisure groups. Eligible expenses include the renovation of the boathouse, the acquisition and maintenance of rowing boats, as well as special programs for youth and competitive sports. Through these broad funding areas, the CLUB Foundation helps ensure that the oldest rowing club outside England combines its historical tradition with state-of-the-art sports promotion and keeps Hamburg’s rowing scene sustainably vibrant.
