Familiarise yourself with the application process

To allow us to process your submission quickly and efficiently, we have established a two-step procedure for applications.

First, submit an inquiry, briefly describing your project idea and the required funding based on a set of questions. You will receive our feedback within about four weeks. If we are interested in pursuing the project further, we will ask you to submit a written funding request. The whole process is handled digitally via the Foundation's portal.
