📋 Tender Overview
The sports clubs in Baden-Wrttemberg will receive a further six million euros in emergency aid from the state. In total around 25 million euros will flow into sport as emergency aid in the corona pandemic. With the renewed increase in funding the country is sending another important signal.Baden-Wrttemberg is a sporting state. To ensure that it stays that way the state government is doing its best to support the sports clubs and associations in the pandemic situation and launched an emergency aid program last year . This has meanwhile been extended to June 30 2021 . In total the state has so far provided around 19.1 million euros as part of the emergency aid program for sport which will benefit sport in Baden-Wrttemberg. Since the funds for the program have already been almost completely exhausted the state government has decided to top up the emergency aid program by a further six million euros. We all hope that the pandemic will soon be over and that we can go back to normal sport in our clubs. So that this is also possible after the pandemic and that sport in the country can get through the crisis properly we have so far supported it with various programs says Minister of Sport Dr. Susanne Eisenmann . She adds By increasing the funds for emergency aid we are now setting another important example for sport in Baden-Wrttemberg and underlining its importance for our state. A total of around 25 million euros are now flowing into sport in the south-west as emergency aid. Sports emergency aid program continuously adapted to requirementsIn June 2020 the state provided the sports clubs and associations with funds for the first time through an emergency aid program. In a first step it was around 11.6 million euros by December 2020. In November 2020 the program was initially extended to June 30 2021 and finally topped up by additional funds of 7.5 million euros. Currently around 18.7 million of the around 19.1 million euros have already flowed to the sports clubs and associations in Baden-Wrttemberg. With the increase by a further six million euros to then 25.1 million euros the need should be covered by the end of June. In order to support the valuable work in the clubs even in the crisis there is not only the emergency aid program in the pandemic. The Ministry of Sports had paid the clubs for the months from March to June 2020 the trainer subsidies funded by the state without proof of hours actually worked on the basis of the year 2019 via the sports associations. This was also the case for November and December 2020 when sports activities were restricted. The Ministry of Sport is maintaining this important support measure for 2021 as well. Sport and exercise are important for everyone - but especially for children and young people. Unfortunately a lot is lost here due to the pandemic because sport is only possible to a very limited extent said Minister of Sport Eisenmann. She emphasizes That is why it is very important that we continue to pay the trainer allowances. The trainers ensure that clubs can also offer children and young people a wide variety of exercise and sports. And with the help we ensure that they can continue their valuable work in the clubs in the future said Minister of Sport Eisenmann. In the current financial year 16.7 million euros are budgeted for the trainers allowances. Solidarity Pact Sport IVDuring the pandemic the state agreed with the sports confederations in February 2021 on the cornerstones of the Solidarity Pact Sport IV in a challenging situation. The Solidarity Pact Sport IV is necessary because the Solidarity Pact III expires at the end of 2021. The structural funding volume of the new Solidar Pact Sport IV 2022 to 2026 is to be increased significantly from 87.5 million euros annually by 18 million euros annually. In addition the state supports the construction of club sports facilities in Baden-Wrttemberg through a one-off special program amounting to 40 million euros. The trainers allowances are an integral part of Solidarity Pact Sport III and Solidarity Pact Sport IV.
