Project funding
International Coproduction Fund (IKF)

The applicant or first coproducer must be an artist or ensemble from a non-German-speaking country. They are to serve as the main contact for the project, conclude the agreement with the local Goethe-Institut and manage the grant money. The applicant may be an individual or a legal entity (company, association etc.).

IKF funding requires collaboration between at least two parties, one of whom must be an artist or ensemble from Germany. Involving third parties and other coproducers is not a prerequisite for coproduction funding, but does improve your chances of obtaining a grant. We deliberately use "coproducer" in a broad sense: what is decisive is that a coproducer should make a substantial contribution to the production.

Contacting the local Goethe-Institut in the applicant's country is an obligatory requirement for submitting a funding application. If there is no Goethe-Institut in the applicant's country, please search for the nearest institute on our website under locations and contact our colleagues there.

Incomplete and late project applications cannot be considered.


For enquiries about pending or previous applications, make sure to give us your application number.
