Description
In Carinthia, a continuously accessible funding is available that specifically supports the development of innovative projects and concepts addressing socio-political issues. With a non-repayable grant, independent cultural initiatives as well as natural and legal persons with ties to Carinthia can apply for financial resources for the preparatory phase and in-depth research activities. Regardless of annual programs, submitted ideas are evaluated independently of ongoing funding cycles, ensuring that creative projects on pressing topics can be realized promptly.
Eligible applicants include individuals, companies, and non-profit organizations who can demonstrate that the project is not part of an existing annual program and has not previously received state funding. Eligible expenses explicitly include costs for concept development and research; projects that have already been funded or are included in annual programs are not covered. Applications can be submitted year-round and require a clearly outlined work and time plan as well as an explanation of the content’s relevance to the region. This approach enables cultural actors to contribute impulses to current debates and sustainably enrich the public discourse in Carinthia.
