Subsidization of a Literary Event by Friedrich-Bödecker-Kreis in Bavaria e. V.

The Friedrich-Bödecker-Kreis in Bavaria e. V. supports cultural encounters through a grant for readings by authors throughout Bavaria. Non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, foundations, public institutions, educational institutions, as well as freelance individuals and private persons who organize reading events to promote reading are eligible for funding. The program aims to bring authors directly together with diverse target groups, thereby strengthening literary diversity and enthusiasm for reading.

The funding covers up to 50% of eligible expenses and includes fees, travel costs (max. 50% of 2nd class train fare or €0.13 per kilometer), daily allowance (max. €10 for engagements longer than six hours), as well as accommodation allowance (max. €20). Framework programs and participants such as speakers, actors, or musicians are excluded. Applications can be submitted at any time. Upon approval, the accounting documents, including the reading report as well as fee and travel expense statements, are provided and must be completed and returned to the Friedrich-Bödecker-Kreis after the event. This continuous funding opportunity offers organizers uncomplicated financial support to sustainably implement readings and author encounters in Bavaria.
