Project Proposal of the German Children's Gymnastics Foundation

The German Children's Gymnastics Foundation supports innovative projects and model initiatives nationwide through its open grant program, which creatively strengthen children's natural need for movement. The aim of the initiative is to disseminate scalable movement offerings in children's gymnastics to provide children of different age groups with low-threshold access to sports. In particular, projects that integrate elements from the fields of culture & media as well as work & social affairs alongside sporting aspects are supported, thereby ensuring a holistic promotion of children and adolescents. The funding measure is aimed at educational institutions and non-profit organizations that seek to have a nationwide impact and advocate for equal opportunities in the area of movement. The German Children's Gymnastics Foundation places great importance on inclusive approaches and the qualification of instructors to sustainably and widely establish movement offerings.

Interested institutions developing an innovative idea to promote movement among children can submit an application at any time. A prerequisite for approval is the demonstrable nationwide scalability of the project as well as a convincing concept for activating and motivating young target groups. All relevant information on funding requirements, documents to be submitted, and deadlines can be found in the current funding guidelines. Additional consultation appointments can be arranged individually to optimally support applicants in preparing their funding application. With this continuous funding opportunity, the German Children's Gymnastics Foundation supports the long-term expansion of movement offerings and thus makes a decisive contribution to strengthening the motor, social, and cognitive development of children throughout Germany.
