The grant is not paid out automatically. You must request the payment yourself via the application portal (Mittelabruf), usually in instalments. The guide explains how this works, step by step.
If there have been any changes to the cost and financing plan (KoFi) since you submitted your application, please submit an updated KoFi to us along with the grant agreement.
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:
All projects that are funded beyond one calendar year and last longer than February of the following year must submit an interim proof of uses (in addition to the final proof of use) until March 31 for each funded calendar year.
Projects that run until the end of February of the following year do not have to submit an interim proof of use. In this case, the final proof of use for the entire funding period is sufficient.
Once your project has been completed, you must submit various documents to show that the funds received have been used properly and that the project has proceeded as planned. This so-called proof of use, i.e. the accounting of your project, must be submitted within two months of the end of the funding period (see funding agreement, any authorised extensions).
Connect with us on social media and tag us on posts about the funded project. We share the projects we support in our Instagram Story. You can find the links to our social media platforms in the footer of this website. Please also mention the funding provided by Fonds Soziokultur in the description/caption.
