Arrangements for residents with a low income
Municipality of Zoetermeer finds it important that everyone can participate, even if there is little or no money for it. Look for the possibilities at:
Sports agreement Zoetermeer | Municipality of Zoetermeer
An annual incentive budget is available from the Zoetermeer Sports Agreement. Sports and exercise providers, welfare organisations, education and healthcare providers are challenged to come up with new initiatives and implement them. A one-off incentive contribution of up to €5,000 can be requested from the Sports Agreement for this purpose.
Sports NL Green
Making sports accommodations more sustainable offers opportunities to make sports clubs in the Netherlands future-proof. Sport NL Groen helps the sports sector on its way through collaborations with affiliated manufacturers, banks and advisory processes by energy coaches.
Sports Guarantee Fund Foundation
For an investment in the accommodation, most sports clubs are dependent on a loan from a bank, a loan that is not granted so quickly when collateral is lacking. Stichting Waarborgfonds Sport can provide a guarantee.
Stimulation of construction and maintenance of sports facilities (BOSA) | Central government
The subsidy scheme Stimulation of construction and maintenance of sports accommodations (BOSA) is intended for amateur sports organizations. These organizations can apply for subsidy for construction and maintenance costs of sports accommodations and the purchase of sports materials.
