Who can apply: For sports clubs seeking to strengthen volunteer commitment and engagement.
Niedersächsische Lotto-Sport-Stiftung focuses on strengthening sport in Lower Saxony, with a strong emphasis on inclusion, especially integrating people with migration backgrounds through local sports and community participation. Its programs also show a practical, club-centered approach: building volunteer capacity, professionalizing sports organizations, supporting competitions and athlete development, and increasingly backing climate and digitalization projects in sport clubs. Most support appears aimed at grassroots clubs, local initiatives, and sport-adjacent nonprofits that can demonstrate clear community benefit in Niedersachsen.
Primarily invite-only, program-based support for organizations in Niedersachsen, with a mix of project grants, capacity-building support, and occasional crowdfunding/matchfunding assistance. Funding is geared toward club and community-level initiatives rather than large open-call institutional grants, and programs suggest relatively targeted, thematic awards rather than unrestricted general support.

Expect an invitation or program-specific entry point rather than a fully open application process. Applicants should align tightly with one of the foundation’s current program themes, clearly show benefit for sport clubs or integration in Niedersachsen, and emphasize practical implementation, local partnerships, and volunteer/organizational impact.
