Project Funding by the Art and Culture Foundation of Sparkasse Dachau

Since 2004, the Kunst und Kultur Foundation of Sparkasse Dachau has been supporting non-profit projects in the fields of art, culture, and monument preservation in the city and district of Dachau. With an endowment of €1 million and a board that decides on applications twice a year, it supports both individual projects and long-term initiatives. The goal is to promote innovative concepts that generate regional impulses and have a sustainable impact. Projects with broad local resonance and a forward-looking approach have particularly good chances of receiving funding. As an expression of Sparkasse’s social commitment, the foundation thus strengthens cultural diversity locally and contributes to the preservation of historically significant buildings.

Eligible for funding are tax-privileged corporations and initiatives based in the funding area that implement concrete projects in the fields of art, culture, or monument preservation. Requirements include non-profit status and the timely submission of a signed funding application in accordance with the funding guidelines. Evaluation criteria include innovation level, sustainability, and regional reach. Applications can be submitted twice a year; exact deadlines are specified in the guidelines. Besides the funding application, only the funding guidelines are required as part of the application. This unique opportunity to actively shape the local cultural landscape and preserve cultural heritage makes this funding option particularly attractive for non-profit organizations in Dachau.
