Cultural Funding of the Ingrid Kipper Foundation Soest

The Ingrid Kipper Foundation in Soest continuously supports non-profit organizations, interest groups, associations, and public institutions based or active in the city of Soest in the realization of cultural projects. The focus of cultural funding lies in visual arts and music: supported are exhibitions in the fields of graphics, painting, and sculpture, the Wilhelm Morgner Scholarship awarded twice a year, as well as musical events ranging from classical to jazz to pop. Special attention is given to awards for outstanding artistic achievements and the support of young art and music students during their education. Funding is provided in the form of sponsorship; applications with a project description can be submitted informally at any time. Proof of non-profit status is a prerequisite for funding.

Interested institutions or associations from North Rhine-Westphalia benefit from quick decisions and flexible modalities: The Ingrid Kipper Foundation does not send standardized forms – instead, a concise project description suffices to assess funding opportunities. Regional organizers thus receive a reliable basis to plan events such as workshops by international artists, emerging talent competitions, or exhibition series. The uncomplicated submission process results in tailored funding solutions that sustainably strengthen local cultural initiatives and provide young talents with financial freedom. The initiative fosters synergies between funders and cultural practitioners and makes a significant contribution to cultural diversity in Soest.
