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.
Applicants born or residing in the region are given priority when making grant decisions, as is scientific or artistic work carried out in or covering the region and cultural projects of regional significance.
The Fund covers 11 municipalities.
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.
