The special fund for extraordinary specialist group activities was approved by the GDCh board of directors on
Launched December 5, 2008. 10% of the rental income from magazines owned or co-owned by the GDCh flows into the fund. The funds are intended to help encourage creativity and ideas in design. For access to these funds, the chairmen of the Divisions submit informal applications to the GDCh Office ( Dr. Gerhard Karger ), in which the projects are described. The GDCh Executive Director decides on the approval of the sums after consultation with the spokesman for the Divisions in the GDCh Board.
