New foundation to promote culture on the radio
A new foundation promotes culture on the radio. The Swiss Foundation for Radio and Culture SRKS supports programs, productions, cultural events or training and further education related to radio with around CHF 650,000 per year.
According to Frederik Stucki, President of the Foundation Board, the number of projects supported each year remains open. He told SDA in response to an inquiry that he did not want to stand in the way of any creative ideas before they were known. However, it is likely that the Board of Trustees will strive for the greatest possible diversity when awarding grants. The foundation therefore also supports projects in all national languages. The conditions that applications must meet are explained on the foundation's website.
The SRKS is sponsored and funded by the collecting society Swissperform, which represents the ancillary copyrights of performing artists, audiovisual and phonogram producers and broadcasting companies. 10% of its income goes to independent cultural and social institutions.
