Application for Project Grants for Culture

The aim of the cultural project grants is to support the implementation of events and projects in Tampere that complement the local cultural offerings, as well as the publication of historical accounts.

Project grants are always partial funding. Grant recipients must also have their own fundraising to organize the activities. Typically, the same applicant can receive a cultural project grant only once per year.

Applications for project grants are accepted on an ongoing basis. The application must be submitted at least 14 days before the event or project is implemented or the historical account is published.

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

Information about the registry collected in connection with grant applications can be found in the privacy statement (link opens in a new window).
