Foundation

After 10 years of TEDDY history, the non-profit organization TEDDY e.V. was founded in February 1997 to continuously support the TEDDY AWARD and the promotion of queer film productions and film workers throughout the year.
The TEDDY e.V. is a non-profit organization and is financed exclusively by contributions from the supporting members and patrons of the Teddy e.V., as well as by donations and contributions in kind - and lives last but not least through the commitment of many volunteers. The TEDDY e.V. is primarily concerned with raising funds to ensure the annual realization of the TEDDY AWARDs as part of the Berlin International Film Festival.
