Operating grants were granted from two different budgets to Special Status associations (marked with *), totalling EUR 18 500, and to other associations, totalling EUR 50 000. The  grants were given based on the point system model, rounding up to the nearest EUR 50 amount. Missing appendices that were not submitted in time and for which no extra time was applied were penalized with deductions in the operating grant (application notice). Associations were not given more grants than what they applied for. In addition, excess operating grants were given, as per the Representative Council’s decisions, to TOKYO for EUR 15 000, Probba for EUR 5000 and Teknologföreningen for EUR 8 000. A total of EUR 96 500 in operational grants was given to 133 associations.
