FONDATION SUISA’s annual funding programme is entering a new round: up to eight work grants worth CHF 25,000 each are waiting for creative minds. Convince our jury of experts with your ideas!
WHAT IS «GET GOING!»?
📍 «Get Going!» is a work grant of CHF 25,000 for music creators, intended as seed funding for your next artistic development step.
📍 We are looking for visions, concepts or emerging projects that open up new paths and give fresh impulses to your musical career. «Get Going!» wants to make these things possible.
📍 The focus is on ideas in development— there is no need to submit a fully finished project.
WHO CAN APPLY?
📍 Eligible are music creators with a clear connection to Switzerland or Liechtenstein (e.g. through nationality, residence, SUISA membership, etc.).
📍 Applicants must demonstrate a recognisable track record as well as an already established musical path.
WHAT IS NOT SUPPORTED?
The following are excluded from the «Get Going!» funding programme:
➜ Purely studio recordings / record productions
HOW DO YOU APPLY?
By submitting an «elevator pitch» (short text) via our online portal.
Please focus on two key questions:
1. What would you do with a «Get Going!» grant?
2. In what way could a «Get Going!» grant change your artistic career?
Submission deadline: Wednesday, 15 July 2026
We look forward to your ideas, visions and emerging projects.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
- The jury may request additional information or ask follow-up questions if necessary.
- We do not correspond regarding the selection process.
- Submitting a «Get Going!» application does not exclude the possibility of applying separately for funding through the regular FONDATION SUISA application procedure.
