Application for Project Grants (Form valid from January 1 to July 31, 2026)

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.

Before filling out the form, you should carefully read the criteria for granting the grant you are applying for and the general principles of grants awarded by the City of Tampere. Information on the criteria for granting city grants can be found on this page: www.tampere.fi/en/targetedgrants

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.

By submitting my contact details, I agree that they will be stored in the city's systems and used as described in the privacy policy: https://www.tampere.fi/en/data-protection-and-information-management/privacy-policies.
