EUROPEAN CULTURAL FUND

The European Cultural Foundation is a private not-for-profit organisation based in Amsterdam (European Cultural Foundation, Jan Van Goyenkade 5, 1075 HN, Amsterdam). It promotes cultural, social and educational activities which are multi-national and European. By European it means Europe as a whole (including Eastern Europe), not just EC counties, and projects which involve countries outside the EC, as well as in it, are preferred.

Projects must:

• be distinctively European in character
• involve three or more European countries.

The Foundation will normally pay no more than half the total project costs; applicants must demonstrate that they can find the other funding from some other source.

Projects should be designed to enhance cultural cooperation on a European level. Grants are one-off and typically ECU 2,500-25,000. They are not awarded retrospectively.

Preliminary information and advice is available by post or by telephone from the UK National Committee of the Foundation. Phone or write to the Director of the Committee:

Geoffrey Denton, Director, European Cultural Foundation (UK Branch), 11 Oakhill Avenue, London, NW3 7RD.
Telephone: 0171 794 5955.
