Capital Cultural Fund

The State of Berlin, through the Capital Cultural Fund, supports significant, innovative individual cultural projects and events by natural and legal persons from Germany and abroad. The projects must be developed for Berlin and have national and international appeal. The goal is to strengthen supra-regional and international cultural dialogue from Berlin.

The Capital Cultural Fund supports a wide range of cultural and artistic projects in various disciplines such as visual arts, performing arts, film, literature, media art, and music. Funding focuses on innovative individual projects and events that have a national and international impact and are realized in Berlin.

The Capital Cultural Fund offers grants for artistic projects and events in Berlin. The funding amount is flexible and not limited, with production costs being prioritized. Project durations are aligned with specific endeavors and must be applied for before the project begins.

To receive funding from the Capital Cultural Fund, projects must meet specific conditions, including national and international relevance, presentation in Berlin, and consideration of accessibility and appropriate fees. Compatibility with other funding is regulated, with certain cumulative funding types excluded.

The application process for the Capital Cultural Fund is electronic via an online portal. Applicants must submit a complete set of documents, including a detailed project description and a financing plan. Decisions on funding allocation are made by a Joint Committee based on artistic and substantive quality.
