The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Lord Mayor Klingebiel, explained: "As in the last two years, it is more difficult for non-profit associations and institutions to meet the application deadline of 31 March this year due to the coronavirus. A decision on the applications should be made before the summer vacations if possible."

Application forms and funding guidelines as well as further information on the Konrad-Fonds can be found on the city's homepage(here). Due to contact restrictions, applications cannot be submitted in person, but can still be submitted by post, scanned as an email attachment or dropped into the town hall letterbox.
