# Funding from the Cultural Office 2027: Cultural Funding in Challenging Times

**Organization**: Stadt Leipzig
**Category**: grant
**Deadline**: 2026-09-30
**Location**: Leipzig, Germany
**Country code(s)**: DE
**Entry fee**: Free
**Eligibility**: Applications for institutional funding must be received by September 1, 2026. All applications for project funding must be received by the Cultural Office by September 30, 2026. Applications for basic funding are only possible for organizations that have regularly received institutional funding from the Cultural Office of the City of Leipzig for at least four years.

## Description

The City of Leipzig's Cultural Office is offering funding for cultural projects in 2027, with over eleven million Euros available for independent arts and culture. The program emphasizes cooperation projects between the independent arts and culture scene and municipal arts and cultural institutions. The Cultural Office will support an artist group from the independent scene for two years, provided they engage in a project-based cooperation with two other partners (an institutionally funded facility and a municipal cultural enterprise). Additionally, artist scholarships are planned for 2027, with calls expected early next year. Applicants are encouraged to seek advice from the Cultural Office staff before submitting, especially for first-time applications or basic funding requests.
