In order to be able to realize our visions we want to create stable living and working conditions. We have core costs for the houses, will need to pay for some renovation material and possibly tools.

So we want to apply for funding.

Best fitting findings so far

Kulturstiftung Leipziger Raum: they fund sociocultural projects and sustainable art and culture

• http://www.kdfs.de/foerderung/

Beweungsstifung: they start where others end, middle term and no detailed what the money was used for  quite easy application → gemeinnütziger verein needed
they have a "basis förderung" which means long term support, but prior cooperation needed
fund especially protests, not entirely sure if we fit...?

European funding

ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) - EFRE (Europäischer Fonds für regionale Entwicklung) in German.

Regional funding from Saxony

• foerderung.sachsen.de → great database called FÖMISAX (partly also includes pots from Bund or EU)

Questions:
what can we do in order to apply for core costs? If not possible what would be a good alternative?
should we do it with the w.V. or a gemeinnütziger Verein?
what to be careful about in a application? How does a projektvorstellung look like?
other tips?
