Children's Culture Fund project grant
Closed for applications / Deadline was 04. April 2025
Varied projects and activities in areas of children's culture, with an emphasis on creativity, art and active participation of children in cultural life.
Special consideration is given to projects which in addition to the above also support democratic participation in the community, or in another way support the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Cooperative projects will also be evaluated, for instance between cultural institutions, schools, artists and community groups. In particular, encouragement is given to cooperative projects between parties working in different spheres, for instance institutions seeking to work with grassroots artists rather than other institutions.
Projects are not limited to taking place within a single calendar year.
In grant distribution emphasis is given to fresh ideas.
What is not covered:
Grants are not awarded for basic activities or the everyday operation of agencies or cooperatives.
Equipment purchases or improvements to work areas, for instance housing, are not covered.
Grants for specific travel are not awarded.
Projects which clearly better align with project funds for particular art forms, or the salary funds for artists, as the Children's Culture Fund is a temporary action to strengthen children's culture, and is not intended to take over other funds' responsibilities to support projects related to children's culture.
Who can apply?
Artists, agencies, cooperative groups and other legal entities that work with children's culture in some way.
