Four Application Rounds
The Cultural Fund has four application periods each year: the January application for the regional funds and the March, August and October applications for the central fund.
The Finnish Cultural Foundation awards grants to different fields of science, art, and culture through its central fund and 17 regional funds.
We award grants for scientific and artistic work as well as for projects and acquisitions to Finnish nationals or to people or organisations residing and working in Finland. Funding is also granted to other applicants whose applications demonstrate strong connections to Finland or Finnish culture. Below you will find all our available grants.
