Funding of the Hanseatic Sports Foundation

The Hanseatic Sports Foundation supports non-profit organizations throughout Germany that plan and implement sports-related projects. The focus is particularly on sports clubs, associations, and other sports-related bodies that promote child and youth development, training for volunteers, or the education and further training of young athletes through targeted measures. Both individual grants and cooperation models with other funding institutions are available as continuously accessible funding options. The foundation places great importance on projects that open access to sports for all age groups and social backgrounds through fairness, team spirit, and diversity, and that have long-term positive effects on quality of life and community.

Funding is provided for the acquisition of sports equipment, operating costs, and tournament operations, as well as travel and accommodation expenses for national and international competitions. Grants are also possible for the construction and outfitting of sports facilities, the organization of sports events, and training offers in the areas of media training, medicine, and nutrition. A prerequisite for funding is the non-profit status of the applicant and the alignment of the project with the foundation’s purpose of "sports promotion." Applications can be submitted at any time, offering non-profit sports projects diverse financial opportunities to design sporting initiatives sustainably and inclusively.
