Participation Program – Support for Sports and Physical Activity

About the Grant

The projects to be funded should enable or facilitate participation in regular physical activity and sports as part of daily life. They should be designed to promote the health of participants and/or to initiate, support, or improve processes of social integration and inclusion.

The focus is particularly on the participation of the following target groups:

  • People with disabilities
  • People with a migrant background
  • Older adults
  • Girls and women
  • LGBTQI

The projects are intended to integrate individuals from the above-mentioned target groups into existing Berlin sports programs or to create specific programs for them, and should be suitable for people who have not previously led an active lifestyle.

Funding is available for projects ranging from 10,000 euros to 50,000 euros.

There will be no call for proposals in 2026; the next call is tentatively scheduled for 2027, if applicable

For more information, contact the Senate Department for the Interior and Sports
