Indicating directions in a situation of limited resources yet increasing demand and giving effective long-term impulses to the guitaristic development: this can only be achieved by well directed selection and concentration of the promoted projects. That´s why the Hermann Hauser Guitar Foundation pursues a principle of focusing on specific projects, which are able to notably satisfy the purpose of the Foundation. However, the Foundation is open-minded to extraordinary suggestions and thus willing to support individual projects as well.

On the one hand, the Foundation wants to give support to scientists and people engaged in the cultural sector to take up new approaches and to develop and prove theories, methods and new connections between musical disciplines and styles. On the other hand, the Foundation´s commitment aims at generally improving the basic conditions of practicing music, of education and of communication within the guitaristic community worldwide and with the public.

The Foundation wants to enable a discourse on new musical directions, to optimize chances for the rising guitaristic generation, and to promote forms of cross national collaboration.
