Sponsorship and donations

New online application form and other important information and deadlines for the 2027 funding year

As part of its Regional Affairs and community outreach efforts, Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH has for years actively supported clubs, schools, daycare centers, social projects, and cultural events in the region surrounding Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). A key component of this regional commitment is the financial support of projects and organizations through sponsorship or donations.

Application deadlines

There are two deadlines in 2027 by which applications for support must be submitted:

• December 31, 2026
• June 30, 2027

Applications for funding may be submitted by the deadlines listed above for projects or initiatives to be implemented in the following six-month period.

Examples:

• A support association for a daycare center plans to purchase new playground equipment for the daycare center in March 2027 and needs financial support to do so. In this case, the application must be submitted by December 31, 2026, at the latest.
• A sports club is planning a training camp for its youth team during the fall break in October 2027 and needs financial support for this. In this case, the application must be submitted by June 30, 2027, at the latest. 

As a general rule, each applicant institution may receive financial support for no more than one project or initiative per calendar year.

To apply for non-monetary support opportunities offered by the airport company (use of the BER bouncy castle or giveaways as in-kind donations), please also use our online application form. On page 3 of the form, please check the box next to “Hüpfburg” or “Give-aways” respectively.

You may apply for services from multiple support categories at the same time for your organization (for example: you are planning an event and would like to apply for both financial support and the use of the BER bouncy castle). Please note, however, that as a general rule, only one project or initiative per applicant institution may be supported per calendar year and per support category.

The application deadlines listed above apply specifically to requests for financial support. These deadlines do not apply to requests regarding giveaways or the BER bouncy castle. Please note, however, that we require an organizational handling time, which is typically at least four weeks.

If you have any questions about applying for benefits, please contact the Regional Affairs Team.
