Funding of the Sports Foundation of the City of Burgwedel

The Sports Foundation of the City of Burgwedel was established in February 2005 by resolution of the council to sustainably shape municipal sports promotion in Lower Saxony. As a non-profit institution, it is dedicated to the fields of sports, culture & media with a focus on sports and physical activity. Sports clubs based in Burgwedel can submit applications for grants at any time to realize training materials, youth development programs, or structural measures at sports facilities. The funding covers a wide range of offerings, from youth tournaments and senior competitions to inclusive sports projects. Furthermore, the foundation supports cooperative initiatives between clubs and schools in the sports and cultural sectors. Thanks to ongoing funding opportunities, support needs can be addressed flexibly and appropriately without being bound to fixed deadlines. The allocation is carried out within the framework of the foundation’s purposes, with financial resources secured through own funds as well as third-party contributions.

The decision-making authority lies with the foundation’s bodies, consisting of the board, advisory board, and foundation council, who jointly determine the strategic direction and review the allocation of funds. Applications should provide proof of non-profit status and document the club’s purpose in the field of sports. Both competitive and recreational sports projects are supported, contributing to the improvement of club structures, the integration of young talents, or accessibility. In exceptional cases, support may also be granted for expert accompaniment or the implementation of workshops for club development. For transparent funding processing, outcome reports must be submitted following project completion. Further information on application procedures, funding criteria, and grant amounts is available on the City of Burgwedel’s website, enabling clubs to plan their projects in a structured manner.
