City of Aachen supports sports clubs with new grants!

On February 11, 2025, the sports committee of the city of Aachen decided in a unanimous meeting to award several grants for sports equipment to local clubs. This is done as part of a comprehensive support program that aims to strengthen the sport in the region and increase the attractiveness of sports clubs.

The Haarener Turner-Tracht 1873 receives a grant of 549.75 euros. The aim of this funding is the purchase of a floor mat called "Flexiroll" for the competition training of the youth department. The total costs for this mat amount to 2,199 euros, with the subsidy share of 25 percent of the total eligible costs, as aachen.de .

funding for the German Alpine Association

Another funded association is the German Alpine Association e. V. Section Aachen, which receives funding of EUR 851.07 for the purchase of club's own climbing handles. These climbing handles should help to make training for children and young people more varied and more attractive. A cooperation with a local climbing hall is also sought to develop child and youth-friendly climbing routes. The total costs for the climbing handles amount to EUR 3,404.29, also with a grant of 25 percent of the total costs.

The city of Aachen promotes sport not only through these grants, but also through various other measures. This includes promoting club activities, support for sporting events and the consistent promotion of qualification measures for trainers. The fees for corresponding courses can be covered up to 50%, such as Sportinaachen.de notes.

Versatile support for sports clubs

The funding program also includes financial means for non -sports projects and offers a comprehensive overview of the available funding on the website of the city of Aachen. Associations can obtain information about the funding opportunities and contact persons in the city's honorary office portal. These transparent funding structures are intended to ensure that both clubs and athletes in Aachen receive the best possible support.

The city of Aachen has also positioned itself as a pioneer in the promotion of social participation in sport through the introduction of the “Integration through Sport”. This award is aimed at clubs, sponsors of free youth welfare, migrant self -organizations and committed volunteers who are committed to integration in sports. Information on the current sports funding guidelines and applications is also available on the city's website, which are an important resource for all interested clubs.
