Who can I apply to for financial support?

 The Migros Culture Percentage and the Federal Office of Culture have reworked their cultural promotion platform. promotionculturelle.chthe online directory, with its new smartphone-compatible structure, brings together some 400 addresses of private and public cultural promotion services in Switzerland.

The platform is designed in particular to support cultural players with little experience of project financing. The initiators assume that the provision of detailed information on the various promotional bodies will make it possible to refine the recipients of applications and, consequently, reduce the number of applications submitted. The idea is: the right application in the right place.

The application is the most important tool for effective project financing. Correct form and convincing content positively influence decision-making committees. However, even a perfect application does not guarantee a grant. If a project doesn't meet the criteria of a supporting association, even the best wording won't change a thing.

There are no universal guidelines, but the promotionculturelle.ch gives invaluable advice on how to give yourself the best chance of success.
