Requests for funding of max. two pages can be submitted to the foundation in writing by mail and should use the appropriate form. The foundation first checks the requests and will inform the applicant in writing within four weeks whether the request will be processed further. If this is the case, the applicant will be asked to provide a detailed application.

However, this does not mean that an advance decision has already been made with regard to approving the respective application. The Board of Trustees, which ultimately decides about the applications, meets two times a year. The deadlines for submitting applications are 15 April and 15 October of every year respectively. Advance inquiries by phone are recommended.
