Sportstiftung Saar supports sport in Saarland with a strong emphasis on elite performance, youth development, school- and club-based sport, and inclusion for people with disabilities or disadvantages. Its giving is highly local and practical: it backs individual athletes and coaches in Olympic and Paralympic pathways, while also funding one-off projects that strengthen school-club partnerships, talent pipelines, and inclusive participation. The foundation is distinctive for combining high-performance sport support with grassroots capacity building and social inclusion objectives.
Mix of invite-only elite sports support for selected athletes/coaches and application-based project grants for schools, clubs, and youth/inclusion initiatives in Saarland. Support includes regular funding, project funding, and tiered performance bonuses for placements; grant sizes appear to vary by athlete status and project scope.

Project funding requires a formal application ('Antrag auf Projektförderung') and is limited to eligible projects in kindergarten, school, and club settings in Saarland. Elite athlete support is invite-only, so clubs and nonprofits should focus on clearly structured youth, inclusion, or school-sport projects and demonstrate local impact, talent development, and alignment with the foundation’s priorities.
