Culture inspires and connects people

The city of Dortmund where Wilo has its headquarters plays a key role in our funding activities since the Wilo-Foundation attaches great importance to assuming regional responsibility. As a partner foundation of the Konzerthaus Dortmund, we provide funding for outstanding musical events at the highest international level. We also support the opera and ballet sections of the Theater Dortmund and its Academy for Theatre and Digitality.

As part our activities to empower young talents, we also support exceptionally gifted young artists in many different ways.  They receive scholarships or are given an opportunity to participate in concerts, academies or exhibitions. In addition, we also find it important to motivate young people, in particular, to explore art and culture.

We are convinced that international cultural encounters can build bridges between people, across borders. That is why we support selected international cultural and exchange projects and promote positive cooperation.
