Date:
Important notes:
Administrative Code:
(will be filled in by the Foundation):
Please read the Foundation's funding criteria (listed on our website) and make sure that your
project is eligible for funding by the Federal Cultural Foundation before filling out the
application form.
Please note the following points:
1. Use the application form provided below to apply for project funding.
2. Applications must be typed, either with a computer or typewriter.
3. Applications must be filled out completely. The areas marked in grey will be filled in
by the Foundation. If you need more space, please complete your answers on a
separate sheet.
4. Provide written statements from the project’s artistic director(s) (e.g. a curator for an
exhibition or a director for a theatre production) or participant with similar
responsibilities.
5. If your project will take place in a theatre, museum or similar institution, include a
written assurance from the institution that it will provide a significant amount of its
own resources for the event. Be sure to take this funding into account in your planned
costs.
6. Check your cost estimates carefully.
The Federal Cultural Foundation is obliged to refuse project funding, cancel funding
retrospectively or demand the return of monies already paid in cases where the project’s
description, or its cost and finance plan is found to contain serious discrepancies. This also
applies to projects of which significant parts are altered retrospectively without immediately
informing the Foundation of these changes. The Foundation’s Jury can only consider your
project if your application is received by the Foundation on time (a single copy is enough).
Documents that are valid by the day of submission deadline apply to all applications from the
preceding term. The dates of upcoming Jury sessions and submission deadlines can be found
on our website.
On receipt of your application, the Federal Cultural Foundation will immediately notify you in
writing. Regrettably, the Foundation is generally unable to enter into correspondence with you
to clarify or complete details of your application. Once rejected, applications may not be
resubmitted.
Please help us to evaluate our measures by answering the questions bellow 7. Your answers in
this section will not be considered by the jury.
