Application for Project Grants for Culture

The purpose of Project grants for culture is to support the implementation of cultural events and projects in Tampere. Supported events and projects must diversify the local cultural offering. Publication of histories of over 70 years old associations can also be supported by project grants. As a rule, the same applicant can receive a project grant for culture only once a year. Project grant is invariably partial financing. The recipient of the grant must also have their own fundraising to organise the activity concerned.

The application period is continuous. The application must be submitted no later than two (2) weeks before the implementation of the event or project or publication of the history. Applicants can be associations or non-profit organizations registered in Finland as well as working groups, freelance producers or artists.

One project grant can be issued for
• the expenses associated with an event or project: e.g. material, marketing and premises-related costs and compensation.
• the publication of histories of organizations and associations older than 70 years. The length of the history should total at least 100 pages.

Project grants for culture are not issued for
• operations that are included in the applicant's basic activities and which are mainly supported by General grants
• activities that make a profit or whose primary purpose is fundraising, including events with the purpose of raising funds for charity
• catering, recordings, publications (excluding histories), audiovisual productions and awards
• investments and acquisition or basic improvement of fixed or movable property
• the purpose of a personal working grant
• the costs associated with the writing of a history or other preparatory work
• exclusive funding specific to the operations concerned

If the project grant is intended to cover expenses related to salaries or wages, the applicant must submit proof of payment of wages and salaries after the event. The receipts must show that, in addition to the payment of wages, the applicant has also paid for occupational pension contributions, unemployment insurance contributions and other compulsory incidental expenses relating to the payment of wages. The applicant always takes care of employees’ pension security by paying TyEL contributions to the employment pension company. Receipts for the payment of salaries must be submitted with the Project assessment form, even if the grant amount is less than EUR 500. In particular for individuals and teams, the Palkka.fi system is recommended for the payment of salaries and wages.

Please note that in applying for a Project grant for the publication of a history, the following documents must be provided as annexes to your application:
• manuscript of the history concerned (a grant can be applied for when the manuscript is in readable format)
• budget for the history concerned and financing plan
• presentation of project (can be written into the application form or in a separate document)

Receiving support always requires:
• a report of the project and its costs using the Project assessment form
• copies and receipts of paid invoices (if the support granted is 500 euros or more)

The Project assessment form must be submitted no later than one month after the event, implemented project or publishing of the history. In the case of histories, the association / non-profit organization must supply the number of histories specified in the decision to the city before the grant is paid.


PLEASE NOTE: In the event of problems, make sure that the application has arrived, as late applications are rejected.
