Some examples
Care farms, community vegetable gardens, cycling projects for vulnerable groups, play areas or green community spaces… these are the kinds of initiatives that qualify.

Any organisation with a social purpose that is active in the municipalities listed above: non-profit organisations, youth associations, schools, neighbourhood initiatives, etc. Municipalities may also apply, but only in partnership with an organisation with a social purpose. Please note: individuals cannot submit a proposal.

Were you selected as a laureate in the 2025 project call? If so, you must wait 3 years before applying for support from the Brussels Airport Fund again.

Organisations can apply for project funding of up to €10,000. All project-related costs are eligible. Please include a clear financial plan with your application.

Projects that only support the regular day-to-day activities of your organisation are not eligible. For example, funding for the routine operation of a sports club or youth movement cannot be granted. However, if such an organisation launches a separate sustainability project that fits within this call, it may qualify.
