Deadline: 7 February 2025
The Finnish Cultural Foundation is pleased to invite applications to facilitate the follow-up planning and development of large-scale and extraordinarily demanding projects.
Funding Information
- The amount of the grant is 2,500 euros. The grant is intended for the preparation of large and more demanding projects (at least EUR 40,000) in application round 2026.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible applicants include all Finnish nationals, and people and organisations residing or operating in Finland. Others are eligible as well, provided their application demonstrates clear, strong ties to Finland or Finnish culture. The applications of those under 15 years of age must be filled in by their legal guardians under the applicant’s name.
- A private individual for their personal work, for expenditure, or for both purposes. An individual applicant may submit only one application in a single application round. They can, however, be a member of a working group (not the person responsible) in a different project than the one targeted by their personal application.
- A working group comprised of several people for the work of the group members, for project expenditure, or for both purposes. The applicant is designated as the person responsible for the group and is liable for the possible grant to be awarded to the Cultural Foundation and, if need be, to the Farmers’ Social Insurance Institution MELA, to the Finnish Tax Administration, and to other members of the group.
- A registered organisation (such as an association or cooperative) for project expenditure, including labour expenses.
Ineligibility Criteria
- Grants are not awarded for core activities of organisations that are essentially publicly financed (for example, a university or a city theatre receiving Government Transfers).
