To bear in mind when applying for the FCP Grant:
The Fondation Centre Pompadour is a foundation pursuant to the Austrian Federal Foundations and Funds Act.
Its socio-political objective is the research, development, and dissemination of feminist ideas, the promotion of comprehensive gender equality in all areas of life, and feminist communication and representation.
FCP's funding is oriented towards projects that contribute to the public interest and the common good. Supported projects are expected to go beyond individual or internal benefits and to engage with broader societal contexts, public discourse, or collective reflection.
Projects that aim to raise public awareness, stimulate debate, or foster critical engagement with feminist issues are particularly welcome. This includes, among others, initiatives that address or counteract sexist and/or discriminatory attacks on human dignity, both in physical and digital spaces, and that promote the self-determination of all persons.
