Description

Renovation of the Festival Halls offers public institutions in the Salzburg region a continuous grant opportunity for comprehensive preservation and modernization measures at three historic venues: the Großes Festspielhaus, the Kleines Festspielhaus (House for Mozart), and the Felsenreitschule. The target group of this program comprises operators and sponsors of public or non-profit cultural institutions as well as municipal administrative bodies seeking to secure the structural condition and technical equipment of these significant event locations in the long term. Applications can be submitted from 01.01.2021 until the allocated funding volume is exhausted, with both construction measures and planning services as well as all costs directly associated with the renovation being eligible for funding.

This funding instrument of the State of Salzburg aims to preserve the substance of the listed and culturally significant buildings while simultaneously meeting modern requirements for safety and event operations. Prerequisites include proof that implementation is not possible without public funds and an appropriate own contribution at market conditions. Furthermore, secured financing of the overall project must be demonstrated, especially for base funding starting from €10,000. The funding is incentive-based and must not exceed the absolutely necessary extent. Cost-relevant receipts must be proportionate and purpose-related; additionally, any other funding sources must be disclosed. The application will be evaluated based on the financial security of the project, the appropriateness of own contributions, the incentive effect, and the proportionality of effort and funding objective.
