Its grants focus on contemporary visual art, music, performing arts, literature, and cultural education, including exhibitions, new productions, public collection acquisitions, readings, catalogs, and research or teaching in the cultural field. The foundation appears especially interested in projects with public benefit and a strong connection to cultural participation and institutional development.

Giving Approach

Invite-only project grants, likely awarded on a program-specific basis for ideelle and financial support. Funding appears to be regional, focused on Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and oriented toward discrete cultural projects rather than open-ended operating support.

How to approach this funder

This is an invite-only program, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to be accepted. Organizations should align proposals with one of the listed cultural fields, emphasize innovation and societal relevance, and demonstrate a strong connection to the foundation’s target regions in northern and eastern Germany.
