Expenses for permanent staff

If you include salaried staff (employees subject to social insurance contributions) in the budget plan, you should always specify the percentage of their working time (average over the course of the project) that each person will contribute to the project. Compare the gross monthly salary with the corresponding pay grade under the TVöD (Collective Agreement for the Public Sector). Indicate this pay grade in the budget plan and include the regular weekly working hours as well as the planned hours for the project.

Travelling expenses

Travel expenses may only be reimbursed in accordance with the Federal Travel Expenses Act. The exact regulations can be found in chapter 3 of the guideline. We reccommend using the following sample:

Public Relations

Display logos correctly

In your PR activities (online and print), you must refer to the funding provided by Fonds Soziokultur and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM). You are therefore required to place both logos and/or the word mark on all materials, e.g. flyers or posters. Please also mention the funding in your social media posts. If you need help, feel free to contact Lara Legeland, legeland@fonds-soziokultur.de.

Further information and a downloadable logo package can be found below:

Logo and word mark

The logo folder for download contains both logos as a package and as individual files in various formats. The logos may not be modified, cropped or changed in colour. The white background of the BKM logo is part of the logo and may not be removed. The funders' logos should be smaller than the organiser's logo.

Word mark: Gefördert durch den Fonds Soziokultur aus Mitteln des Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien. (Supported by Fonds Soziokultur with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media)

Logos:

Please note: The Künstlersozialkasse has come to the conclusion that a ‘highlighted mention’ of a sponsor's logo (for which use in the same size is sufficient) constitutes an advertising service to be remunerated.
solution: The logo of the Fonds Soziokultur must therefore be reproduced smaller than the applicant's logo (preferably a maximum of 50%) and may not exceed 5% of the area visible at a glance.
