Future Fund of Styria
Most references only use the German terminology, but I found the above here:http://www.megaphon.at/_pdf/meg_uni_web.pdf
I would possibly use parentheses or inverted commas (even quoting the German), but here's a viable English option which is used!

Kieran McCann
: with Steffen though I don't see any need to retain the German because while 'Zukunftsfonds' is part of a proper name it is also a widely used generic term, as is 'future fund' in English

: yes. You might give an English equivalent in parentheses, though: Gefördert durch den Zukunftsfonds. des Landes Steiermark . (Supported by the future fund of Styria).

"Fund for the Future"
even if it is a proper name, it makes no sense for an English-speaking audience if left untranslated. You can put in parentheses or use Zukunftsfond and then add brackets but I'd go
Discussion
It gives an English equivalent as well.
