The funding program of the Free State of Thuringia targets various operators of public sports and play facilities. The goal is to provide needs-based and DIN-compliant sports facilities and to support the creation of sports facility development plans. The funding is geographically limited to Thuringia.

The program funds both construction measures for public sports facilities and the creation of sports facility development plans. Specific sectors and project phases are supported, with precise details on eligible and excluded costs provided.

Funding is provided as a non-repayable grant. Funding rates vary depending on the type of project and potential co-financing. For projects exceeding a certain amount, collateral is required, and there is a fixed commitment period.

Applicants and funded projects must meet various requirements, ranging from proof of need and technical standards to financial collateral. In addition, general and construction-specific ancillary provisions must be observed.

The funding process is two-stage, beginning with an registration, followed by an invitation to submit a detailed application upon positive assessment. Project selection is based on a funding plan that considers priorities and available budget.

The funding for sports facility construction and sports facility development planning in Thuringia is based on a specific guideline, legitimized by the Thuringian Sports Promotion Act and the Thuringian State Budget Code. These documents form the legal framework for granting subsidies.
