Funding of the Foundation of the Württemberg State Sports Association

The funding provided by the Foundation of the Württemberg State Sports Association represents a pioneering initiative in Baden-Württemberg, aimed at non-profit organizations, particularly sports clubs with innovative concepts in recreational, competitive, and youth sports. Through an annual grant of up to €20,000, projects are supported that distinguish themselves through their innovative character and potential for replication. The foundation’s goal is to promote groundbreaking ideas arising from club activities in order to successfully address current societal challenges by involving voluntary engagement.

The focus of the funding is on projects derived from club work that can be assigned to the fields of sports, culture, and the media landscape. The initiatives must be innovative and play a key role in the funding themes of the coming years. Application documents include, among others, the application form with a detailed project concept, a comprehensive cost calculation, as well as descriptions of the target group and scope of impact. These practical measures assist clubs in implementing, for example, holistic student care programs, corporate health promotion concepts, or new offers for the integration of older adults. The informal application process allows for uncomplicated submission, enabling clubs to present their innovative approaches quickly and purposefully.

The Foundation of the Württemberg State Sports Association sees itself as a catalyst: it supports projects that serve as lighthouse initiatives and exemplary models for other clubs. Ongoing financing and openness to new, creative approaches ensure that future-oriented measures can be continuously developed and increasingly realized. In this way, the foundation makes a decisive contribution to the sustainable strengthening of sports in the region and to overcoming societal challenges. With the support of this funding, structures for voluntary engagement are further expanded and innovative club concepts are strengthened, thereby generating a long-term positive impact in the sports and cultural sectors.
