It is currently not possible to submit a new sponsorship application. The next application round will start in 2027.
As soon as the dates and conditions for the new application round are known, all information will be published on this page. In the meantime, if you have a question about sponsorship, please contact us at sponsoring@brusselsairport.be.
We support local organisations, associations and initiatives that are active in our four neighbouring municipalities:
Priority is given to projects that bring people together, strengthen local community life or contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive neighbourhood.
These may include initiatives relating to:
Examples include a sports club, youth organisation, school project, cultural initiative, clean-up campaign, inclusive sports project or local event that brings different generations together.
Brussels Airport allocates an annual budget to provide financial support for local initiatives. There are two types of support:
Are you organising an event, campaign or another clearly defined project? You can apply for support for it once a year. The same initiative can receive support for a maximum of three consecutive years. For example, if you organise the same neighbourhood festival every year, you may submit one application each year for a maximum of three consecutive years.
Organisations can also apply for support for their ongoing operations or activities.
After the application period closes, a panel assesses the submitted applications. Among other factors, we consider the initiative’s local roots and the extent to which the project contributes to a strong, connected, inclusive or sustainable neighbourhood. Organisations whose applications are selected will receive confirmation and financial support. The exact application deadline, evaluation dates and schedule will be clearly communicated for each application round.
Since 2016, Brussels Airport has been a proud partner of the Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee (BOIC) and the Belgian Paralympic Committee (BPC). In October 2025, we renewed and strengthened our partnership with Team Belgium and Paralympic Team Belgium for another four years.
We also support local organisations through the Brussels Airport Fund, in collaboration with the King Baudouin Foundation.
