Funding of the Freemason Foundation of the Swords and Apples Lodges in Dresden

Since its reactivation after reunification, the Freemasons' Foundation of the Schwerter and Apfellogen in Dresden has supported the cultural and civil society in Saxony. In the tradition of the founding lodges established in 1738 and 1776, the foundation promotes art and media projects, cultural events, as well as international understanding through grants. Furthermore, voluntary initiatives and social engagements that strengthen social cohesion in Dresden are supported. A board of trustees composed of public figures together with experienced Freemason masters ensures a careful selection of applications and guarantees that the approved measures effectively serve the common good.

Private individuals and non-profit organizations from Dresden and the surrounding area can submit applications at any time and benefit from a straightforward, ongoing application process. Artists and cultural practitioners are given the opportunity to realize projects in the fields of culture, media, and artistic education. At the same time, non-profit initiatives and volunteers are supported in endeavors related to work and social affairs. Thanks to the flexible funding modalities and regional focus, this support significantly contributes to generating creative impulses and sustainably strengthening civic engagement.
