Sponsoring

Call for local projects

Brussels Airport Company supports initiatives that strengthen community life in our region. We focus on projects that contribute to community wellbeing, inclusion, environmental care, sports, culture and youth. This is how we invest in a warm, connected and sustainable environment for everyone who lives or works near the airport. 

Would you like to apply?

The next application period will be announced on this page in due course. Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee that sponsorship will be awarded. Have questions? Feel free to email us at sponsoring@brusselsairport.be.

We welcome applications from local organisations, associations and projects in our four neighbouring municipalities: Zaventem, Machelen (Diegem), Steenokkerzeel and Kortenberg. 

This includes sports clubs, music academies, theatre groups, youth organisations, groups of scouts, schools, clean-up actions, green mobility projects, inclusive sports initiatives, dance groups and intergenerational events. Projects that bring people together, strengthen the community or promote sustainability receive special attention. 

Each year, Brussels Airport allocates a dedicated budget to local sponsorship initiatives. Only applications that meet the criteria are eligible for support. 

A local project can receive two types of support: 

  • One-off support: for an event, activity or specific project. 
  • Structural support: for ongoing activities of an organisation. 

To give as many organizations as possible the chance to receive support, we limit the sponsorship to a maximum of three consecutive years per organization. After that, a three-year pause applies before a new application can be submitted. 

After the application deadline, a Brussels Airport panel reviews all submissions. Selected projects receive a positive response and financial support. Evaluation moments and timing may vary but are always clearly communicated.
