- Sports clubs, apply for development grant for club activities by 18 Dec!
Last week on Thursday, the Ministry of Education and Culture (OKM) opened the call for applications for the development grant for club activities. The grant is ideal for any student sports club and I definitely recommend you to read about the call for applications in more detail.
The development grant for club activities is intended for the development of sports club activities. The sports club grant is a state grant for situations when a club wishes to develop easily available activities for children and young people, try out new innovative activities, increase versatility of activities through new sports or develop leisure activities within the field. With the grant, clubs can also strengthen the quality of activities and communality as well as support volunteering. The sports club grant promotes the implementation of diverse sports in voluntary activities.
The applied amount ranges from €2,500 to €15,000 and the share of the club’s own financing must be at least 25%. The deadline for applications is 18 Dec, so please act fast. Af first, please read carefully the application instructions and the form: http://www.minedu.fi/OPM/Liikunta/liikuntapolitiikka/avustukset/Avustukset_seuratoiminnan_kehittamiseen.html?lang=fi
The Finnish Student Sports Federation is glad to help sports clubs in all matters related to the application process. Please contact Training and Event Coordinator Jyrki Eriksson (jyrki.eriksson@oll.fi). Please do not hesitate to get in touch, together we can make your application as good as possible.
