In contrast to other institutions, we do not claim any public funds for our diverse cultural commitment but generate them exclusively from our own entrepreneurial profitability. A positive performance balance is therefore a prerequisite for implementing the goals set as a non-profit-oriented cooperative. Sales and profits are therefore not an end in themselves, but rather a measure of the cultural and economic importance of the company in society. By the way: No dividends are distributed to the members of the Salzburger Heimatwerk cooperative; all income is invested in cultural work.

We are very honored that we were granted the right to use the Salzburg state coat of arms in 1996 - a recognition of our decades of achievements as a traditional and cultural institution, as well as a commercial and commercial establishment for the common good. The Salzburger Heimatwerk is a member of the umbrella organization of the non-profit association “Kuratorium Österreichisches Heimatwerk”, which was founded in 1952. Its aim is to promote popular and everyday cultural expressions. The Board of Trustees of Austrian Homeland Works is in turn a member of the Association of European Homeland Works - a network of institutions similar to Homeland Works throughout Europe.
