New project 1 gate, 1 fence”: FG Wohlde starts crowdfunding campaign!

What motivates the people in the football club FG Wohlde von 1976 e.V.? Quite simply: the passion for sport and the commitment to young people. The club recently announced the start of its latest project on the Celle Crowd. Under the motto “1 goal, 1 fence, 1 goal: help us, we’re on the ball!” Those responsible are aiming to collect the proud sum of 4,500 euros by July 11, 2025. Reason enough to take a closer look at the project and its significance. As the Celle press reported, the funds are earmarked for the purchase of new youth goals, nets, rollers for the existing goals and a fence to delimit the sports field.

As part of this crowdfunding project, well-known faces are behind the scenes, including Margareta Stangenberg, the association's deputy youth officer, and Thomas Edathy, managing director of Stadtwerke Celle. The campaign is supported not only by the club's tireless efforts, but also by the mascot of Stadtwerke Celle, Fiete. The project is a sign of team spirit and the shared visions that are lived in the club.

Follow-up steps for the future

The FG Wohlde has already proven itself in the past, especially in promoting youth. A successful crowdfunding campaign last year resulted in a whopping €3,525 to purchase new jerseys, which were urgently needed as many children quickly outgrow their old jerseys. This shows how important community support is - a fact that also Celle municipal utilities emphasize. Almost 80 supporters contributed to this success.

The Celle municipal utilities have provided a funding pot totaling 8,400 euros for 2025. For every donation of 10 euros or more, the municipal utilities add another 10 euros from this pot. This not only enables financial support, but also sends a strong signal of cohesion. Rewards offered by both the association and the municipal utilities mean that every contribution is worth much more than just a donation.

Crowdfunding as a future model

But what actually makes crowdfunding so attractive for sports clubs? The FAIRPLAID SPORTS platform, Germany's largest crowdfunding platform for sports, explains that it's not just about financial resources. Crowdfunding brings people and companies together, promotes awareness and creates long-term partnerships. Club colleagues and supporters often get involved beyond the financial aspect, which creates a strong bond. In this regard, the analysis of campaigns by the FAIRPLAID Lab is another advantage that many clubs should use to continuously optimize their projects and make them successful, as described in an article by Spized is highlighted.

The commitment of FG Wohlde and the support of Stadtwerke Celle are an excellent example of how important a joint effort is to ensure a solid sporting future. This project is just the beginning, and with every support we get closer to our goal of improving sporting opportunities for children and young people in the region.
