Funding Area Culture

The Dieter von Holtzbrinck Stiftung GmbH supports non-profit organizations and public institutions in Baden-Württemberg with straightforward grants in the fields of culture and culture & media. Ongoing applications allow for flexible project planning without fixed deadlines, enabling initiatives and institutions to receive continuous support. Funding is provided to cultural institutions, initiatives, and artists who implement music, cultural, or educational measures, thereby strengthening community, understanding, and artistic diversity. A prerequisite is the execution of a cultural project or the operation of a cultural institution at the intersection of innovation and tradition within the state.

With the aim of establishing culture as a driver for social cohesion and intercultural exchange, the foundation specifically promotes diverse event formats, educational programs, and participatory formats. The funding measures particularly benefit projects that create barrier-free access or engage new audience groups. From concert series to exhibitions to interactive workshops – the program is open to all cultural carriers seeking to establish creative beacons in the regional context. The grant funding supports personnel, material, and organizational costs to implement cultural initiatives sustainably and effectively.
