Does your organisation or research team meet the specific eligibility requirements for professional mobility for performing or multidisciplinary artists in crisis contexts?
Roberto Cimetta Fund has a funding or support opportunity aimed at professional mobility for performing or multidisciplinary artists in crisis contexts. The geographic reach, applicant type and programme instrument are decisive; not every NGO may apply.
Funding and deadline
- Donor: Roberto Cimetta Fund
- Funding or support: Up to €600 for travel, visa/consular costs and daily allowance
- Closing date: 1 November 2026
- Eligible applicants: Artists and cultural professionals aged 18+ from Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Yemen
- Eligible geography: Sudan plus four named Middle Eastern countries; nationality/origin eligibility matters even where artists reside elsewhere
Who is eligible?
Artists and cultural professionals aged 18+ from Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Yemen
Sudan plus four named Middle Eastern countries; nationality/origin eligibility matters even where artists reside elsewhere
Important conditions and exclusions
Mobility for training, creative residencies or networks, not broad cultural programme grant. Host invitation letter and CV required. Submit to administration@cimettafund.org; travel Jan–June 2027.
Check whether the programme is a directly accessible grant, an individual award, a research-specific call or an accelerator. Being an African nonprofit or working in the subject area does not automatically make an applicant eligible. Where funding is stated as an average or total programme budget, do not assume it is available to one applicant.
How to prepare
- Identify the correct eligible applicant or lead researcher and confirm legal registration or relevant institutional affiliation.
- Write an evidence-based statement of the specific problem and why the proposed solution is credible.
- Develop realistic outputs, milestones, implementation costs, measurement indicators and an appropriate governance or ethics plan.
- Obtain genuine partner endorsements, references, host invitations or research approvals wherever the funder’s current documents require them.
- Read the exact official terms and application templates and submit in time for the stated deadline and time zone.
Project fit and useful next actions
A sound application should show a close match to professional mobility for performing or multidisciplinary artists in crisis contexts, a proportionate budget and evidence that the applicant can do what it proposes. Identify the most consequential eligibility restriction before spending time on detailed drafting. Do not use generic proposal material where the funder requires technical methods or a specialist portfolio.
