Logo-Gefoerdert_von_der_BMH-Negativ-RGB-468x312pxThe funding is decided on regarding the financial opportunities of the Federal Foundation Magnus Hirschfeld and the thematic priorities set by its bodies, according to the legal regulations and the Foundation’s purpose. There is no general claim on funding; that is there is no right of appeal.

The available amount of funding for 2017 was set by the Advisory Board on 13th February 2017 on the basis of the budget 2017. The amount depends on the predicted income from the Foundation’s asset management and the institutional funding granted by the federal government.

Please note that the Federal Foundation Magnus Hirschfeld does not provide funding for projects based outside of the Federal Republic of Germany. In order to receive funding, projects at least need a cooperation partner within Germany. Funding will not be transferred to foreign countries.
