What is the Central Ostrobothnia Regional Fund?
The Fund is devoted to promoting and developing the arts, the sciences, and other fields of endeavour in Central Ostrobothnia – by providing grants and awards, and organising other activities in the region’s 21 municipalities, some of which are shared with the South Ostrobothnia Regional Fund and the North Ostrobothnia Regional Fund.
The Fund’s activities and decision-making are impartial and not linked to political parties or other organisations or associations. The Administrative Council reflects a wide range of expertise and knowledge in the arts, the sciences, society, and business in the region.
The Central Ostrobothnia Regional Fund consists of a general fund, as well as donor funds based on bequests and donations. Grants made from the latter are directed towards areas specified by the donor when they made their bequest. Areas not covered by this procedure are supported from the General Fund.
Grants
Finnish citizens, as well as private individuals and organisations residing or operating in Finland are eligible to apply for a grant yearly in the Finnish Cultural Foundation’s application period. You may also apply if your application has a clear, strong connection to Finland or Finnish culture.
