About Viktoria

Hi, I'm Viktoria.

Culture moves people. Funding makes it move forward.

I'm a freelance Fundraising Manager specialising in the arts and cultural sector - helping musical ensembles, institutions, and creative projects secure the resources they need to bring ambitious ideas to life. From researching the right foundations to writing grant applications that actually get approved, I handle the full process with strategic clarity and a genuine passion for culture.

Beyond fundraising, I bring a broader toolkit to the table: project management for complex, cross-functional initiatives, ghostwriting for thought leadership articles, white papers, and blogs across tech, culture, and the startup world - always in your voice, never sounding like anyone else. And with a background in e-commerce, I understand how creative ambition meets real-world execution.

Bilingual in German and English, I work across borders and bring cultural nuance to everything I write and manage.

If you're building something worth funding - or worth saying - let's talk.

Experience

  • Freelance
    Freelance Fundraising Manager for Culture & Creative Projects
    CULTURE
    June 2025 - Today (1 year)
    Berlin, Germany
    We know that cultural projects need more than passion - they need funding. I help cultural institutions, ensembles, and creative initiatives find the right funders and submit successful applications.

    With hands-on experience in cultural fundraising - from public foundations like Stiftung Kunstfonds to project-specific third-party funding - I guide the full process: researching suitable funding programs, developing a funding strategy, and writing compelling grant applications.

    My approach combines a genuine understanding of artistic projects with a structured eye for funding logic - whether that's cultural sponsoring, foundation grants, crowdfunding, or Förderverein structures.
