How do we fund?
The BaltCF applications follow a two-step procedure. For the first presentation of your idea, please use the Project Concept Form. Once your concept has received positive feedback, we will ask you to send us a full proposal for which you should use the Project Application Form. You are encouraged to seek advice / consultation from the BaltCF project coordinator before submitting your idea the official way.
For questions regarding our funding principles and application procedure, you will find the most relevant information in our statute and funding guideline.

Selection criteria

For evaluation of project concepts with applied co-financing sum above € 100.000 the Foundation will normally involve its Project Advisory Committee (PAC). Of course, all documents are treated confidentially and the principles of data protection are respected.
