Our projects
We initiate our own programmes and promote third-party projects. We make a distinction here between our flagship projects and funding projects.

Our flagship projects are characterised by their nationwide relevance, strong impact and the intensive, long-term support that we provide.
Growing up healthy and active
Through its ‘Bundesliga moves’ project, the DFL Foundation along with 24 Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs seek to connect stakeholders in social spaces such as disadvantaged urban areas and so lay the groundwork to help children grow up leading an active lifestyle.
Social cohesion
With an exciting combination of football and the special ‘Classroom Stadium’, we raise awareness among children and young people for social issues and strengthen their democratic skills and awareness through everyday, youth-friendly formats.
Social cohesion
A combination of football, competence training and regular cultural activities: the inclusive education programme develops children’s language and social skills, hones their learning capacity and boosts their confidence.
Elite Sport
Through its youth elite funding, German professional football provides targeted support for the most promising Olympic, Paralympic and Deaflympic athletes via German Sports Aid.
Growing healthy and active
Together with the fit4future foundation and in close collaboration with various professional clubs, we launched the ‘step kickt!’ project designed to inspire school pupils to engage in more physical exercise and eat more healthily.
In addition to our flagship projects, we support numerous – usually local – third-party projects. The funding is extremely diverse here and is generally provided for up to three years.
