Are you interested in applying for funding? Please check whether your project or your academic or artistic study fits the objectives of our Foundation.

• Project funding: Please send us a short description of the project (topic, objective, timetable and budget). If we think we might be able to support your project, we will ask you to complete a formal project application. A decision is usually made within three months.
• Scholarships: We offer a limited number of scholarships for specific topics selected by the Foundation. Please visit our website in advance to discover the research areas for which we are offering scholarships. We look forward to receiving your application.

Please note that we only support people and projects that are in line with the Foundation’s objectives and comply with our funding guidelines.

1. Funding Guidelines

a) The people and events supported should promote the aims of the Foundation in word and deed. Anti-Semitic actions and words, in whatever form, nature or context, preclude funding by the foundation. Funding commitments will be terminated at the discretion of the Foundation if there is concrete evidence for such actions or words.

b) Active participants in events organised or sponsored by the Foundation should promote the objectives of the Foundation as far as possible. If their statements and positions are contrary to the Foundation’s objectives, they should be critically challenged in an open discourse of different views and positions.

c) The application must be accompanied by meaningful and complete documentation. As a rule, the Foundation will provide written confirmation or rejection within three months of submission of the documents.

d) The Foundation has the right to use the grantees and the funded projects for its own purposes, without restriction as to time or place. It may make recordings of any kind (in particular photographs, films and sound recordings) and use them for its own purposes without any restrictions as to time or place. For each funded project, the project organiser shall provide the Foundation with several photographs of the project implementation free of charge for use by the Foundation as described above.

e) The funding by the Foundation shall be communicated in an appropriate and sufficient manner, including the use of a logo provided by the Foundation. The manner in which this is done shall be determined by mutual agreement with the Foundation. At the Foundation’s request, the funded projects must provide sufficient space for the presentation of the Foundation’s objectives.

f) The funds will be disbursed as soon as the implementation of the funded project or the fulfilment of the funding requirements is ensured and confirmed in writing. The Foundation shall be provided with specimen copies and a report on the funded projects, including a full statement of accounts, so that the Foundation can check that the funds have been used in accordance with the Statutes and can present the funding appropriately in its reports. The Foundation may request the submission of further documents, in particular invoices from suppliers.

g) The Foundation reserves the right to demand full or partial repayment of the grant if the requirements are not met or if the reputation of the Foundation is likely to be significantly damaged by the behaviour of the grant recipients or those responsible for a project at sponsored events.

h) Recipients of grants or organisers of funded projects must provide a confirmation suitable for tax and audit purposes.

i) The Foundation reserves the right to amend the above guidelines at any time.

2. Funding Contract

A contract must be concluded with the organisers of the funded projects and events to make these guidelines binding. This also applies to scholarship holders and other beneficiaries. Our data protection policy applies.
