Each year, the Sports Confederation of Greenland (GIF) allocates operating grants to the national sports federations with the aim of creating transparency, stability, and development in sport throughout Greenland.
In 2026, a total of DKK 18.5 million will be distributed to the national sports federations through a model that combines basic funding, activity-based grants, and strategic support.
The allocation of funds is based on a balanced model that takes into account size, activity levels, and development needs.
The model consists of three main components:
All national sports federations receive a fixed basic grant, providing a stable foundation for operations and administration.
Part of the funding is allocated based on:
This ensures that federations with high levels of activity and broad participation receive a larger share of the funding.
A dedicated funding pool is reserved for strategic priorities and development initiatives across sport, including the development of activities, organisations, and partnerships.
The allocation key is designed to support:
At the same time, the model ensures that both small and large national sports federations have opportunities for growth and development.
The allocation is based on a fixed model and documented data relating to members, clubs, and activities.
The grants are paid out in instalments throughout the year, and follow-up is carried out through reporting and financial statements.
The allocation key is an important tool in the continued development of sport in Greenland.
It helps ensure stable operations today while creating opportunities for future development, in close cooperation with the national sports federations.
