Funding of the Dr. Julius and Günter Budde Foundation

The Dr. Julius and Günter Budde Foundation supports non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and public entities nationwide with financial grants as well as non-material assistance. Projects are funded in the areas of arts & culture, music and media, education & training, further education & professional development, construction & monument preservation, as well as infrastructure & urban development. The foundation's goal is to promote personal responsibility and community engagement. Applicant initiatives submit an informal written application containing the name and address of the organization, contact details of the person responsible, a description and timeline of the project, target groups, a detailed cost and financing plan, as well as a cost breakdown. The board of trustees decides on the allocation in regular meetings.

Eligible for funding are primarily non-profit associations, foundations, schools, universities, and public sponsors active in the aforementioned fields. Evaluation criteria include alignment with the foundation’s purpose as well as the quality and feasibility of the project. Applications can be submitted at any time, ensuring a continuous funding opportunity. Through its broad support of arts and cultural initiatives, educational programs, and monument preservation measures, the Dr. Julius and Günter Budde Foundation makes a sustainable contribution to cultural diversity and the preservation of historic building fabric in Germany.
