Description

The Franz Grothe Foundation supports composers, music students, as well as active or former professional musicians and artists nationwide who can demonstrably be in an acute social or economic emergency. As a charitable grant, this funding instrument is aimed at private individuals who can transparently present their financial situation. Expenses that directly contribute to alleviating the emergency are funded, for example, living costs, tuition fees, or artistic projects when no other support is possible. The foundation thus places an emphasis on the social security of individuals whose artistic activity is endangered due to economic difficulties.

A written application is required for submission, in which the current income situation as well as, if applicable, other relevant documents are fully and comprehensibly listed. The evaluation is based on the following criteria: proof of acute emergency and completeness of financial documents. There is no application deadline; applications can be submitted continuously. The goal is a prompt decision to enable swift assistance. Interested private individuals should send their funding application along with all required evidence directly to the Franz Grothe Foundation.
