Funding requirements

The most important prerequisites for funding are the artistic and musical quality and the innovative strength of the project. 
Regardless of the musical genre, avant-garde concepts are the focus of funding. Mainstream music cannot be supported by the Musikfonds. 
The Musikfonds funding programmes are aimed at professional musicians, composers and sound artists based in Germany. International collaborations are possible.

Applicants who wish to apply for funding from the Musikfonds must fulfil basic formal and musical requirements.

If you are unsure whether your planned project falls within the funding focus of the Musikfonds, please contact the office before submitting your application.
