The foundation supports efforts that use the arts as a transformational force and are distinguished by their high level of quality, professionalism and the passionate dedication of those in charge.
The Max Kohler Stiftung makes grants primarily in Switzerland and generally chooses to support established partners who have a proven track record and are able to achieve their goals in a sustainable way.
The Foundation supports:
- Culture: The Foundation helps people experience and interact with exceptional art and invest in exhibitions and performances in the areas of fine art, music, opera and dance. Furthermore, it also supports research projects with international significance from the areas specified above. Currently, the Max Kohler Foundation only accepts grant applications in the area of ART. The Foundation doesn’t accept accept unsolicited applications in other cultural areas.
- Youth: The Foundation wants to help children and young people to fully tap into their potential regardless of where they come from or their current situations. That is why it supports efforts in the area of child protection as well as programmes that promote integration, both of which contribute to the development of children and young people with special needs in Switzerland.
