Spillemidler til bygging og rehabilitering av anlegg for idrett, friluftsliv og fysisk aktivitet skal bidra til en infrastruktur som gir befolkningen mulighet til både egenorganisert aktivitet og aktivitet i regi av frivillige. Programmet støtter bygging og rehabilitering av idrettsanlegg, friluftslivsanlegg og nærmiljøanlegg som er åpne for allmenn idrettslig virksomhet eller egenorganisert aktivitet, og som ikke er underlagt kommersielle interesser. Det kan også søkes om tilskudd til kjøp og innredning av eksisterende anlegg og universell utforming av eldre idrettsanlegg. Anleggene deles inn i ordinære anlegg og nærmiljøanlegg med ulike tilskuddssatser.

This grant supports development and maintenance projects in state-secured outdoor recreation areas and areas protected under the Marka Act in Norway. The goal is to promote outdoor recreation activities through environmentally friendly facilitation and management, making these areas easily accessible and attractive for public outdoor recreation. Eligible projects include development of information boards, access roads, parking areas, trails, fishing spots, accessibility improvements for persons with reduced mobility, beaches, docks, toilets, waste facilities, planting and maintenance, and cultural heritage communication. Only local management authorities - municipalities and regional outdoor recreation councils - can apply. A mandatory requirement is that applicants have an approved management plan for the outdoor recreation area. The scheme prioritizes areas in or near cities and densely populated areas, heavily used or potentially heavily used areas, areas with limited accessible shoreline under significant pressure, and areas connected to inland waterways. Projects with co-financing or volunteer work contributions receive priority. The application deadline is December 1st annually.

The world’s oceans are facing unprecedented threats from overfishing, pollution, and climate change, putting marine fish populations at risk. This grant supports innovative, community-driven projects that aim to protect and restore fish habitats, promote sustainable fishing practices, and raise public awareness about marine conservation. We seek proposals that combine scientific research, local engagement, and scalable solutions to ensure healthy fish populations for future generations. Priority will be given to initiatives that demonstrate measurable impact, collaboration with local stakeholders, and a commitment to long-term ecological balance.
