Filing an application with the National Fund

Individual payments

The Committee of the National Fund meets several times a year to decide on applications for gesture payments or another individual payment. Please consider the requirements for a gesture payment.

There is no deadline for filing applications. Applications can be filed at any time.

Project sponsorship

Applicants can be submitted to the National Fund at any time. The Board of Trustees decides four times a year on applications submitted by 1 February, 1 April, 1 September and 1 November (as of 2025).

The requirements, submission, deadlines and application form for project submission can be found at application process.

The further requirements are set out in the guidelines and must be observed.

N.B.: As of the September submission deadline, the 2025 funding budget has been exhausted. The 1 November submission deadline has therefore been cancelled. The next deadline for submissions is 1 February 2026.
