Subsidy for construction and maintenance of sports facilities: also for your organisation?
The subsidy scheme Stimulering bouw en onderhoud sportaccommodaties (BOSA, the Dutch scheme promoting the construction and maintenance of sports facilities) is intended to support amateur sport. Non-profit sports organisations can apply for a subsidy towards the construction and maintenance costs of sports facilities and the purchase of sports equipment.
Do you offer martial arts through a foundation or an association and do you hold a Keurmerk Vechtsportautoriteit (the quality mark of the Dutch Martial Arts Authority)? If so, you may be eligible for this subsidy.
In brief, a subsidy can be applied for towards the following costs:
– Costs for the construction and maintenance of a sports facility and for the purchase of sports equipment. These costs (including VAT) are eligible for a 20% subsidy.
– Activities aimed at energy saving, accessibility, circularity and climate adaptation are eligible for an additional 20% subsidy (40% in total).
You can find more information about this subsidy scheme on this page of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (ministerie van VWS).
