Funding Application (General Project Funding) of the Sto Foundation

The Sto Foundation opens up nationwide accessible support for projects in architecture and construction-related engineering sciences with its funding application for general project support. Educational institutions, private individuals, and companies can submit a grant application online at any time—regardless of whether the project is part of a competition or a call for proposals. The funding aims to realize independently planned and executed construction and research projects in the fields of urban planning, infrastructure, and monument preservation. With this continuously open program, the Sto Foundation underscores its commitment to strengthening innovative and forward-looking ideas related to the built environment and to fostering synergies between universities, research institutions, and practice.

Architects as well as engineers from universities, research institutions, and independent practice equally benefit from the straightforward application process without fixed deadlines. A prerequisite is a project in the field of architecture or construction-related engineering sciences. The Sto Foundation grants project-related subsidies intended to advance design concepts, technical innovations, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through the flexible awarding format and nationwide orientation, a broad spectrum of funding opportunities opens up: from the revitalization of listed buildings to pioneering infrastructure projects. Potential applicants thus receive the necessary financial basis to implement their ideas in a planned manner and to make a long-term contribution to the built environment.
