European Cultural Foundation (ECF)

EUROPEAN CULTURAL FOUNDATION (ECF) was founded in Geneva in 1954 by the Swiss philosopher, Denis de Rougemont. At the heart of its work is the notion that cultural cooperation and artistic activities which cross boundaries are important factors in the integration of Europe.

Aims

ECF aims to support arts across Europe by investing in people and projects whose work is innovative and border-crossing. This involves giving young people the chance to make the most of their creativity and have their work displayed and discussed in mainstream media. It means encouraging open artistic exchange, through special collaborative projects and by funding the travel of artists and cultural workers.

Grants for outstanding artistic projects which show vision in illuminating the issues of diversity in Europe (individuals may also apply); and also grants which stimulate collaboration between cultural organisations.
