Nordic Culture Fund’s Grant Program to support Arts and Culture Projects

UNESCO Call for Applications - African World Heritage Day 2021

Deadline: 1 October 2019

The Nordic Culture Fund is currently seeking applications for its grant program to support projects that contribute to an innovative and dynamic artistic and cultural scene in the Nordic Region, one that is diverse, accessible and of high quality.

The Nordic Culture Fund supports art and culture projects involving different Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, the Faroe Island, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the Aaland Island). To qualify for funding, projects must involve Nordic relevance and co-operation, and further the development of art and culture.

They fund projects in all fields of art and culture. To qualify for funding, projects must involve Nordic relevance and co-operation, and further the development of art and culture.

Funding Information

Applicants can apply for max. DKK 500,000.

Eligibility Criteria

Applications are accepted from individuals, groups, organizations, institutions, associations and companies. Applicants do not need to live in the Nordic Region or be Nordic citizens.

They provide wide-ranging support, but there are certain limitations. The Fund does not finance:

Nordic Relevance

The Fund assesses Nordic relevance on the basis of, for example, how:

Quality of the Project and How it develops Art and Culture in the Nordic Region

The Fund assesses the project’s quality and development on the basis of, for example, its:

Quality and Substance of the Co-operation

The Fund assesses the quality and substance of the project’s Nordic co-operation on the basis of, for example:

Finances

Projects must have an appropriate level of co-funding. This is a key criterion in the assessment of the level of support a project enjoys at national level. The higher the amount applied for, the more self-financing and funding from other sources the Fund expects. In practice, this means that only 50% of the total funding for a project may be from the Culture Fund and maximum 85% from the various Nordic funding bodies.

You can apply for max. DKK 500,000 but please look at previous awards to gauge what constitutes a typical amount before applying. See more under Funded Projects.

Voluntary work may form part of the self-funding component of the project. The application budget must quantify the scale of any voluntary work.

Grants may be used for administrative and wage costs, as long as these are directly linked to the project.

Projects outside the Nordic Region

Projects outside the Nordic Region are supported if they are deemed mutually beneficial for the organiser and Nordic stakeholders in the arts and culture.

Active and competent international partners ought to contribute resources to the project, either financially or in kind. We also assess the Nordic relevance and level of interaction involved in the project. In addition, we assess the projects’ quality, planned follow-up activities, impact and level of general external interest.

Grants are usually awarded for the event’s additional Nordic costs, e.g. travel expenses, fees and administration for workshops, performances, concerts, exhibitions, festivals, conferences, research projects, etc.
