Grants and calls for projects
The Metropole and City of Montpellier actively support sports associations that contribute to territorial dynamics. With this in mind, an annual subsidy application campaign has been set up to support projects and activities of interest to the territory.
2026 subsidy campaign
The digital campaign for 2026 grant applications is open from February 17 to April 30, 2025:
This is the 3rd 100% digital campaign carried out through the City and Metropolis of Montpellier's Grants Portal, where each structure has a User account for submitting and tracking its applications. The Aides Portal is an online platform for submitting, investigating and processing grant applications.
This platform makes it possible:
- To create and manage a User account for submitting and tracking applications;
- To benefit from a simplified, centralized process for all administrative procedures: submitting, investigating and processing grant applications
An accompanying guide is available opposite.
How do I apply?
- Go to the Portail des Aides to complete the online form.

Monitoring and controlling the use of subsidies

As such, the beneficiary undertakes, on the one hand, to hand over any document required for this inspection upon simple request by Montpellier Métropole and, on the other hand, to allow access to its premises for the purposes of this inspection. - Publicity of funding: mention the Metropole's participation on all communication media related to the subsidized project or activity.
Publicity rules will be specified in the agreement or in the decree awarding the subsidy.
In the event of non-compliance with obligations, partial or total repayment of funding may be demanded.
