The Crespo Foundation supports people’s self-determination and social participation through a mix of culture, arts education, and school-improvement initiatives. Its giving is especially visible in contemporary dance, literature, photography, artist residencies, and programs that bring artists into schools and communities, alongside partnerships to strengthen literacy and foundational skills in German schools. The foundation tends to fund structured programs and collaborations with established institutions, often emphasizing access, capacity-building, and long-term educational impact.
Programmatic and partnership-based giving through calls, prizes, residencies, and co-funded initiatives; grants range from prize awards and artist stipends to larger multi-partner program budgets. Several opportunities are annual or cycle-based, and some residencies/programs are invitation-only or run through implementing partners rather than open unsolicited applications.
