Procedure details

Purpose

The regional culture funding program is intended to promote initiatives to preserve local history throughout Bavaria and to strengthen awareness of local history and tradition.

Object

The object of the funding is

a) Investments in the construction (new building, conversion, extension or renovation) and technical installations in venues (event and rehearsal rooms or open-air stages) for historical local history plays; funding is also provided for the acquisition, including conversion or renovation, of a building, insofar as this makes a necessary new building or extension for the venue of a historical local history play unnecessary (investment funding);

b) innovative individual events and projects that focus on the purpose of preserving local history (individual funding).

Recipients of funding

Natural and legal persons with their place of residence, habitual abode or registered office in Bavaria are eligible to apply for and receive funding. The prerequisite is that the applicants do not primarily pursue commercial interests with the project.

Type and amount

There is no legal entitlement to funding. Funding is provided in the form of grants in accordance with the budget funds available. The funding rate is up to 30% of the eligible expenditure, unless the outstanding importance justifies a higher funding rate in individual cases due to a special state interest.

The funded projects should have a supra-regional impact.

Funding under these guidelines can only be considered if the eligible expenditure per project exceeds EUR 15,000.

In the case of recurring events and series of events, only start-up funding for the initial implementation or funding for one-off special events can be provided.

A grant may not be approved if the project is eligible for funding from the European Union, the Federal Government, the Free State of Bavaria or another state. Double funding from the funds of the Regional Culture funding program and the funds of the Bavarian State Foundation is only permitted with the approval of the State Ministry of Finance and Regional Identity for particularly outstanding projects whose funding cannot be secured in any other way and whose implementation would otherwise be jeopardized.

Grants may only be approved for projects that have not yet been started. In individual cases, the approval authority may approve the premature commencement of the project before any liabilities are entered into.
