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 Fund’s activities and decision-making are impartial and not linked to political parties or other organisations or associations. The Administrative Council represents a wide range of expertise and knowledge in the arts, the sciences, society, and business in the region.
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.
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.

What kinds of grants do we award and to whom?
Grants can be applied for in all fields of science and art. Grants are awarded to individuals, working groups, and registered organisations for the promotion of science and art in Häme.
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 Päijät-Häme Regional fund below.
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.
