The matchfunding programme launched in 2017 is considered an exemplary funding model for successful cultural federalism in all art forms. The aim of the excellence funding programme is to sustainably strengthen the art form of dance both artistically and structurally. Developed in close coordination between the federal, state and local authorities, TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund enables long-term collaborations and innovative development concepts that benefit dance professionals throughout Germany. The multi-year funding is aimed at artists, ensembles, production structures and networks and provides them with medium-term planning security.
TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund is implemented jointly by the non-profit cultural organisation Bureau Ritter (funding fund) and the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland (cultural policy dialogue), with the advice of a board of trustees comprising representatives of the Association of German Cities, the Conference of Culture Ministers, the federal government and the dance scene.

Evaluations have confirmed the extraordinary effectiveness and reach of the funding programme in every respect.
With the passing of the 2024 budget resolution, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media has committed to fund the continuation of TANZPAKT Stadt-Land-Bund with an additional 5.625 million euros. This means that there will be two more calls for proposals in the period from 2025 to 2030. The necessary templates and forms will be available for download here when the call opens in February 2025 (estimated). You can find an overview of the funding principles here.
