Support for the German Wheelchair Sports Foundation

Since 1992, the German Wheelchair Sports Foundation has been passionately committed to promoting inclusive sports projects in Germany. With a broad spectrum in the areas of social affairs, sports, work & social issues, as well as culture & media, the foundation offers financial grants that primarily support wheelchair users as well as all those interested in inclusive grassroots sports. The funding is made possible through contributions from companies and private individuals who maintain a close relationship with wheelchair sports. The primary goal is to get people moving and to convey a sense of community and self-efficacy through sporting activities. The foundation’s long-standing tradition and continuous commitment have significantly contributed to the realization of diverse projects and tournaments nationwide.

The provision of grants by the foundation targets a variety of initiatives that advocate for wheelchair sports and its social impact. Through the foundation’s capital, innovative projects are supported that not only emphasize the sporting aspect but also address the challenges of inclusion and social participation. Eligible for funding are, in addition to established institutions, private individuals who, through their connection to wheelchair sports, wish to contribute to creating an active and inclusive environment. The comprehensive support aims to further develop grassroots sports as an important component of health promotion and social cohesion. Particular emphasis is placed on a careful selection of projects that have the potential to generate long-term positive effects.

Ongoing funding thus provides a reliable financial basis for projects that advance inclusive wheelchair sports. At a time when social cohesion and participation are more important than ever, the foundation sends a strong signal for equal opportunities and integration. Supporting innovative ideas and concepts in the field of sports and movement not only strengthens the self-confidence of those involved but also promotes interdisciplinary exchange among different social groups. This sustainable support enables people, regardless of age or disability, to engage in sports together and learn from one another – a crucial step toward a more modern and open coexistence in Germany.
