General project funding from the Federal Cultural Foundation

In the area of general project funding, artists can apply twice a year for funding for projects in all artistic fields, for visual and performing arts, literature, music, dance, film, photography, architecture or new media.

The Federal Cultural Foundation’s General Project Funding is characterized by the fact that it is not limited to funding a specific field or topic. It is large, innovative projects in an international context that can be considered here.

The next jury session will take place in spring 2025. The submission deadline for the 47th jury session is January 31, 2025.

Please note that the minimum application amount for general project funding is €50,000. The financing of the project must have a secured share of own and/or third-party funds amounting to at least 20% of the total costs of the project at the time of application.

A “project” is defined as the production, planning and/or realization of individual events or event complexes, e.g. exhibitions, performances, symposia. The Federal Cultural Foundation only funds projects in an international context in its general project funding.
