EU funding for cultural projects
Funding schemes, Culture
Use the Funding Finder to find the right EU funding for project ideas in the cultural sector. Through this initiative, the Commissioner of the Federal Ministry of Culture and Media and the Federal Ministry of Housing, Art, Culture, Media and Sport aim to make EU funding opportunities more easily accessible to all sectors of the cultural and creative industries. All sectors are covered, from dance, theatre, circus, music, visual arts, literature, film, design, architecture, cultural heritage, museums, archives and media art to socio-cultural activities and cultural education.
13 funding schemes
Europe supports culture and provides funding for creative professionals through 13 funding programmes (as of June 2026). The Funding Finder helps you quickly find programmes that match your projects. Simply answer a few questions and you’ll receive a selection of – hopefully – suitable EU programmes.
If you’d rather browse through the programmes yourself, you can find them at https://www.europa-foerdert-kultur.eu/foerderprogramme/.
