Your sports event will generate a positive return for the city and thereby create added value for the State of Berlin. • Dependence on public funds Your event cannot be held, or cannot be held in full, without the provision of public funds. • Measures have not yet begun • Grants (Zuwendungen) are only approved for measures that have not yet begun. • If you must enter into legal obligations before a Zuwendungsbescheid (grant approval notice) is issued, apply informally by email for early commencement of the measure. Commencing the measure before the Zuwendungsbescheid is issued is at your own risk. • Use of own funds (Eigenmittel) Grants are only awarded if the grant recipient (Zuwendungsempfänger) also demonstrates their interest in holding the event through an appropriate use of own funds. An own-funds contribution is considered appropriate if it amounts to at least 10 percent of the unavoidable funding shortfall.
