Zurich Ukraine special contributions
The City of Zurich is creating a temporary funding instrument to provide quick and low-threshold support for cultural workers who have fled their country.
The city of Zurich is launching a temporary funding instrument to support artists who have fled their homes due to the war against Ukraine. The municipal council has approved a supplementary credit of CHF 400,000 for this purpose. The funds will be used to make special contributions to cultural organizations that create offers to support these cultural workers who have fled.
Thanks to the special contributions, cultural workers who have fled their home country should be given quick and easy access to work and production opportunities and be able to network with the local cultural scene. Cultural organizations that are based in the city of Zurich or produce an offering in the city of Zurich are eligible for funding.
The possible contribution amount per application is CHF 5,000 to 70,000 - depending on the size of the project or offer. Applications can be submitted until September 30, 2022.
