Funding in the Field of Cultural Mediation (General)

Within the framework of an open-ended funding program by the Federal Ministry of Education, grants are awarded in Vienna for projects promoting cultural education in schools. This funding instrument supports regional as well as supra-regional cultural initiatives, associations, public institutions, non-profit organizations, and individuals who develop creative concepts for involving children and adolescents. The focus is on strengthening cultural education and increasing the performance and educational levels of students. Projects from the fields of culture, media, education, labor and social affairs, as well as initial and continuing education, are funded, provided they ensure high participation of young people and guarantee practical applicability. The unlimited budgeting allows for the realization of innovative ideas with sustainable impact and the establishment of long-term partnerships between schools and cultural providers.

Interested applicants can submit proposals throughout the year. Submission requirements include legal eligibility for project funding, the quality of youth involvement, and the concrete benefit for the target group. The application must include a detailed project description, a precise financing plan, a standardized job description for personnel costs, and the fully completed application form. Through transparent award procedures and clear funding criteria, this program offers planning security and supports projects that open creative access to culture. Early preparation of all documents enables prompt approval and implementation of projects to contribute to cultural education in Vienna even in the short term.
