Guidelines for grants
Applications for grants are not bound to a specific form, but should provide the foundation with a clear picture of the project and/or the funding facts and contain the information required for a decision, if necessary supporting documents. In the case of larger projects, especially research projects, the foundation requires supplementary information, such as e.g.
- Presentation of the applicant
- Brief description of the project
- How the planned project will be realized
- Total cost of the project
- Desired amount of funding by the foundation
- Planned time period for the project
As a general rule, the following are excluded from funding:
- Pure construction measures
- The procurement of motor vehicles or the coverage of conversion costs for vehicles
- Ongoing personnel costs
Applications are always rejected without justification.
