The Culture and Sports Foundation of the City of Lübbenau/Spreewald represents a sustainable funding opportunity for cultural and sporting projects in the Brandenburg region. Utilizing the proceeds from the 2009 “Mission Olympic” competition, the foundation aims to establish a permanent base for promoting cultural and sports activities. The focus is on supporting non-profit organizations that implement innovative and community-oriented projects in the fields of culture, sports, as well as culture & media. The continuous application process allows interested applicants to submit their projects on an ongoing basis, thereby contributing positively to regional development.

Funding prerequisites include, among others, proof of non-profit status and tax exemption of the applicants. Eligible funding applications must also include a minimum amount of €300.00 and be submitted no earlier than 8 weeks before the project start date – with some flexibility allowed in justified urgent cases. The application requires, in addition to the statutes, an excerpt from the association or commercial register, a detailed project description, a financing plan, and proof of own contribution. These clearly defined grant conditions ensure that financial resources are specifically used to further develop the cultural and sports landscape in Lübbenau/Spreewald.

The foundation supports initiatives that strengthen social cohesion and participatory cultural and sports promotion. These include, among others, projects in children’s and youth sports, cultural events such as theater performances, readings, concerts, and exhibitions, as well as initiatives to reduce access barriers in cultural education. The funding aims for a long-term impact by providing positive incentives for innovative ideas and sustainably securing the non-profit purpose. By providing grants, the foundation also supports local cooperation among clubs, associations, and other recognized organizations. The funding is intended to help preserve cultural heritage, intensify sporting activities, and promote international-mindedness and tolerance in the region, ultimately strengthening the overall common good in Lübbenau/Spreewald.
