Applications above EUR 10,000 must come from a legal entity such as a foundation or association; themed calls held once or twice a year can fund larger projects of up to EUR 75,000. Projects should have public value, be innovative, be viable beyond the funding period and share their results and knowledge publicly. Standalone media productions, sponsorships or events, and structural operating or salary costs are not eligible.
