funding guidelines

An application for funding can be submitted for projects that are in line with our foundation's purpose and the funding guidelines. Applications can be submitted by non-profit institutions and private individuals whose social and/or cultural projects deal with participation, equality, promotion of democracy, integration, empowerment and/or intercultural cooperation. 

Projects and concerns are usually partially funded and reviewed in advance by the foundation team. Before you apply for funding and send us the relevant documents, please contact us in advance by email to first discuss the project proposal with us before the further steps of the application process are initiated.
