The Satakunta Regional Fund is devoted to promoting and developing the arts, the sciences, and other fields of endeavour in the region – by providing annual grants and awards and supporting other activities in the region’s 22 municipalities.
The Fund’s activities and decision-making are impartial and not linked to political parties or other organisations or associations. Grants made by the Fund are decided by an Administrative Council that reflects a wide range of expertise and knowledge in the arts, the sciences, society, and business in the region.
Satakunta Grants
The grants of the regional fund January application round are divided into working and expenditure grants. In addition to these, grants will be awarded for special purposes.
Applicants born in the region are given priority when making grants, as is scientific or artistic work carried out in or covering the region, and major cultural and other projects across the region.
