Sports clubs and enterprising sports providers will soon be able to apply for a support budget (or microbudget) on this page . This amounts to €449 per sports club or company. They can use this budget for sustainability, to give something back to volunteers and professionals or to work on inclusion or social safety. There is a limited budget available . We will inform you here as soon as the final date on which the budget can be applied for is known. The expectation is mid or end of March.
Separate budget for inclusion and social security
With the available budget, 1,100 sports clubs and enterprising sports providers can receive support to focus on social safety. And another 1,100 sports clubs and entrepreneurs who want to focus on inclusion. In addition, there is budget available for 2,200 sports clubs and enterprising sports providers who want to use the budget for other purposes. It is possible that the available budget is not sufficient to meet all requests. In order to ensure that the distribution is as fair as possible, it will be determined randomly who will receive the budget. In addition, a number of conditions apply. We will share these conditions as soon as the final date is known.
Date of opening of support budget application will follow
The exact date on which the support budget can be requested is not yet known. We will inform you as soon as possible – and at least three weeks in advance – about the exact date. The expectation is that the application will open in mid or late March and will remain open for a week.
Also new budget for services
The expectation is that from April 2025 there will be a budget available again for requesting services. Due to the large decrease in the previous period, we expect that the budget will not be sufficient to meet all demand. In order to keep the services available for a longer period, additional conditions apply. This includes an increase in the own contribution of sports providers and a limitation on the number of services per sports provider. More information will follow as soon as the conditions and dates are final.
