Promotion of Folk Culture

The promotion of folk culture in Burgenland continuously supports projects, initiatives, and activities aimed at preserving and further developing regional traditions. Designed as a grant, the program targets educational institutions, non-profit and public organizations, as well as private individuals with documented ties to Burgenland. Funding is provided, among others, to scientific institutes, ethnic group organizations, cultural and traditional associations, as well as museums. The initiative aims to keep the cultural heritage alive and to promote innovative approaches in folk culture. Applications can be submitted at any time, as the deadline is open-ended.

For a successful application, a standardized funding request and a detailed project description with a cost breakdown are required. The submission of original receipts ensures that the funds are used in accordance with the provisions of the Burgenland Cultural Promotion Act. The Burgenland state administration reviews each submission promptly and competently to guarantee a service-oriented process. This continuous funding opportunity offers all interested parties the chance to sustainably realize folk cultural projects and thereby contribute to the vibrant cultural landscape of the region.
