Additionally, financial grants are allocated to projects that promote equal opportunities and diversity, as well as to sports science and sports medicine institutions, in order to further develop sports as an integrative and educationally supportive domain.
The objective of the funding encompasses not only the financial support of specific sports projects but also the strengthening of volunteerism and the creation of demand-oriented infrastructures for sports clubs and organizations. Targeted measures focus on inclusive sports offerings as well as combating doping.

By providing grants, the German Sports Foundation aims not only to create a robust foundation for sporting activities but also to make a sustainable contribution to improving educational offerings, social integration, and the development of a forward-looking sports infrastructure. This funding measure thus offers an exciting opportunity to promote German sports in all its diversity and to strengthen it in the long term.
