Cultural-political grants

We support cultural diversity

In the course of our cultural promotion measures, the GVL Associates’ and Delegates’ Assembly decides on the approval of such applications which need to be put forward submitting a budget plan each year.

Apply for cultural-political grants

Applications for cultural policy grants must be submitted informally by email by 30 September of a calendar year for projects in the following year. As a first step, the application should include the following key data:

  • Project name
  • Name and contact details (e-mail and postal address) of the applicant
  • desired funding amount
  • Implementation period

A description of the project, which also provides information on the cultural policy objectives, should then be provided. A meaningful budget plan must be attached. Please refrain from sending application documents by post.

Please only send us your applications digitally by e-mail to: projektzuwendung@gvl.de

 

Application guidelines

Projects

We take responsibility for the creative industry beyond our distributions - also in the context of our grants. We make up to five per cent of the annual distribution volume available for promotional measures. By means of grants for cultural and social purposes, GVL's rights holders benefit directly on the one hand and indirectly on the other through the promotion of cultural policy projects. Projects that we support include

Preis für Popkultur

The Prize for Pop Culture is a German music award presented by the non-profit organisation Verein zur Förderung der Popkultur e.V. (Association for the Promotion of Pop Culture). The award promotes and increases the popularity of performers. The jury puts the spotlight on award winners who do not receive the attention they deserve in other awards due to the focus on turnover and sales figures. GVL supports this important project in order to sustainably promote the diverse pop music landscape in Germany.
