Our sponsorship activities are intensely focused on cultural events in the Rhine-Main region – a region with rich history, art, and music traditions. Fraport AG funds various art and cultural projects in the region with over half a million euros every year.
We recognize that arts and culture are not simply nice or pretty matters of secondary importance but of prime importance. The art and cultural scene actively contributes to the sense of well-being among the population in the region. As so-called "soft factors", arts and culture play an important role for the international standing of this region. We are proud to be a strong contributor to our region's cultural standing.
We support a wide range of art exhibitions, local festivities, and other cultural events throughout the region. Our engagement is concentrated on long-term partnerships with museums and cultural institutions.
