The Volkart Foundation supports institutions and artists in the fields of film and photography. It is involved in projects that address socially relevant topics. Preference is given to projects with innovative approaches in form and content.
Photography
In the field of photography, the focus is on documentary photography. Art photography is also promoted.
Film
In the area of film, the focus is on documentary film (short, medium and long film format). A theatrical release is desired, but not required. In addition, committed feature films are also supported.
The Volkart Foundation does not see itself as the sole funder, but as a project partner, which requires a sustainable use of funds. Applications can be submitted at any time via the online application form in a two-step process.
