Supported foundations
Franz-Grothe-Stiftung
The foundation was established by the composer and pianist Franz Grothe (1908-1982) in 1960 in Bad Wiessee. Its goal is to support competent and needy composers, professional musicians and music students and to preserve the memory of Franz Grothe.
The advisory board generally decides on the allocation of foundation funds twice a year—in summer and winter. Applications must be submitted in good time and contain detailed project descriptions. There is no legal entitlement to funding.
