Fondation SUISA Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how creators of Swiss music can access funding for the production and promotion of new musical works through Fondation SUISA.

Fondation SUISA Grants provide financial support to help artists bring new musical projects to life. This funding is designed to assist with both the making and the sharing of new music.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically for creators of Swiss music. To be eligible, your work must fall under the category of musical creation within Switzerland.

What you get

The grant provides funding intended to help you through the various stages of a project. You can receive support for the production of new works, which helps cover the costs of creating the music, as well as funding for the promotion of those works to ensure they reach listeners.

What it costs you

There is no direct monetary cost to apply for this support. However, it does require a significant investment of your time to prepare a proper submission. You must be very careful with your scheduling, as application deadlines are strict. Missing a deadline means you will not be considered for that period, so you must plan your project timelines accordingly.

The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is the specific purpose of these funds. The focus is strictly on the creation of new musical works. If your project does not center on the development or production of new musical content, it may not meet the requirements for this specific grant.

How to apply

  1. Verify that your musical work is a new creation and that you qualify as a creator of Swiss music.
  2. Identify the specific production or promotion needs for your project.
  3. Prepare your project details and documentation according to the requirements.
  4. Submit your application through the official portal: https://fondation-suisa.ch
