Application for Community Project Grants 2025

The aim of the community project grant is to support activities in Tampere that foster community spirit through the events and projects carried out by associations, organizations, and residents themselves. It aims to enhance the well-being and development of communities, promote equality, and encourage sustainable lifestyles.

Applications for project grants are accepted on an ongoing basis. The application must be submitted at least two (2) weeks before the event or project is implemented.

NOTE! In case of issues, ensure that your application is received, as late applications will be rejected.

Before filling out the form

However, in exceptional cases, a project grant may be awarded to organizations receiving a general grant if the project clearly differs from the organization's core activities.
