About Stiftung PRO ARTE DOMUS

Stiftung Pro Arte Domus supports the conservation and renovation of historically significant buildings, especially structures built before 1899 and deemed worthy of protection. Its giving is highly place-based, with a core focus on Nidwalden and the German-speaking part of Switzerland, and also projects in Graubünden and Ticino. The foundation appears to back substantial, carefully selected preservation projects—often for monasteries, villas, manor houses, and historic interiors—rather than broad, small-scale grants.

Giving Approach

Provides significant funding for a small number of larger preservation projects; in some cases offers loans as well as grants. Support is typically project-specific and likely selective, with no indication of small routine awards.

How to approach this funder

Projects should clearly document the building’s historic significance, protection status, and pre-1899 origin, and show a well-developed conservation plan with strong architectural justification. Because the foundation funds only a few larger projects, applications should be targeted, detailed, and likely first discussed with the managing contact before submission.
