Funding of the Thuringian Sports Aid Foundation

The Thuringian Sports Aid Foundation continuously supports performance-oriented athletes and their coaches from Thuringian sports clubs with moral recognition and financial contributions. The goal is to accompany individuals engaged in Olympic or Paralympic disciplines on their path to top performance and to provide them with tailored measures to fully support their efforts. The focus is not only on the immediate promotion of athletic talent but also on guidance during education and studies, as well as alleviation of sport-related social hardship cases. The allocation of funds is based on objective criteria to ensure sustainable development and to foster tomorrow’s top performances.

Eligible for funding are members of Thuringian sports clubs who actively participate in competitions of Olympic or Paralympic disciplines, as well as their coaches. A prerequisite is verifiable athletic achievement and, where applicable, consideration of individual financial need. Grants can be applied for training and tuition fees, professional education and further training costs, as well as to mitigate financial losses due to income shortfalls. Evaluation is based on the performance delivered, the special circumstances of the individual case, and urgent necessity. Applications can be submitted at any time via the provided form, allowing funding to be made available promptly and flexibly. Interested sports clubs and athletes are encouraged to thoroughly inform themselves about the funding modalities and to submit their documents completely to enable swift review and allocation.
