Funding & Application Requirements

Who can get funding?

Are you in need of funding?

The German Federal Cultural Foundation supports cultural institutions with implementing their projects.

Our funding activities focus on contemporary art and projects with an international orientation. Different requirements apply to the Foundation’s own programmes and to application-based General Project Funding, which is open to all artistic areas.

Solo artists are not eligible for funding.
