Individual Support (Prof. Roland Wolff Foundation)

The individual support provided by the Prof. Roland Wolff Foundation is aimed nationwide at young elite athletes who wish to enable a high-performance sports lifestyle through one-time or temporary grants. The focus is on covering additional sports-related expenses such as training camp costs, equipment, and physiotherapy services, as well as supporting ongoing living expenses. Applicants must prove their elite athlete status, disclose income details, and acknowledge the foundation’s funding guidelines. In the selection process, in addition to previously achieved sporting accomplishments, long-term development potential and the presence of sports-related social hardships play a decisive role.

Applications can be submitted continuously via a standardized form. Required documents include, among others, a statement from the club, coaches, or sports management, a copy of the ID/passport, proof of income, as well as a photo and publication release. Upon positive approval, grants can be used directly for training camps, equipment purchases, or as a contribution to living costs. The Prof. Roland Wolff Foundation supports the beneficiaries in their athletic and professional development and helps to combine performance-oriented goals with fair conditions. Interested athletes benefit from a transparent allocation process that operates without fixed deadlines and adapts flexibly to individual needs.
