What is the Häme Regional Fund?
The 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.
The Häme Regional Fund comprises a General Fund and donation- and bequest-based donor funds. Grants made from the latter are directed towards areas specified by the donor when making his or her bequest. Areas not covered by this procedure are supported from the general funds.
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 representing a wide range of expertise and knowledge in the arts, the sciences, society, and business in the region.
Häme 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.
Please ensure that your work is specifically located in the region of the Häme Regional Fund and not, for example, the region of Päijät-Häme. You can find a list of municipalities belonging to Häme Regional fund below.
What kinds of grants do we award and to whom?
When deciding on grants, priority is given to scientific and artistic work carried out in or covering the region, culturally significant and even bold cultural projects, and applicants who live in or were born in the province. Grants are awarded to individuals, working groups, and registered organisations for the promotion of science and art in Häme.
The grants are intended for postgraduate studies and research in all fields of science, as well as for artistic work.
Grants are awarded from, among others, the Tyyne and Lauri Peltonen Fund, which specifically supports the vocational studies of young people in Kalvola.
