Priority projects
Through its Priority projects area, the UBS Culture Foundation supports cultural projects of all disciplines that are of superregional or national significance with contributions of between 30’000 and 100’000 Swiss francs. We support projects with a clear connection to Switzerland and which are adequately co-financed be other public or private donors. Special interest is given to projects with pioneering, pilot and experimental character.
We do not support
- Individuals
- Recurring projects and events (except in terms of start-up funding)
- Projects of a primarily sociocultural nature
- Infrastructure or operational costs
- Projects that are part of a school curriculum or a further education
- Dance or theatre productions
- Publications
A pre-clarification is required before applying. Please send a brief project description, including information on the project schedule, costs, and funding needs, to kulturstiftung@ubs.com. The management will carefully check the formal and thematic alignment with the foundation’s funding program and decide whether to invite the project to submit an application. Refusals will not be substantiated.
Please note that a positive assessment by the management does not constitute a funding commitment. The foundation has limited financial resources at its disposal, which is why not all applications can be considered for funding.
Grant proposals for projects that clearly meet the criteria in one of the other six funding areas are to be submitted in the corresponding category.
