Grants

The Alfred Kordelin Foundation awards grants for science, art and public education. The application period is in August each year.

Major Cultural Projects

We are seeking groundbreaking major cultural projects that support our goal of creating a more diverse, skilled, and international Finland. Major cultural projects must be ambitious and offer solutions to societal challenges from the perspectives of art, science, or public enlightenment, or combinations thereof. In the evaluation of applications, we emphasize impact, interdisciplinarity, and long-term continuity – our goal is a vibrant and self-sustaining cultural field that enriches society in a sustainable way. Funding is intended for a two-year period, ranging from €100,000 to €300,000. Completed projects may apply for bridge funding to support the continuity and impact of their activities. The application period is 1-31 January every year.

City funds and dedicated funds

Of the Foundation's nine city funds and seven target funds, the vast majority of the funds have a public application every year from January 1 to 31. Check the fund-specific schedules and conditions for each fund. The size of the grants applied for can be from a few hundred to a few thousand euros. In addition to the fact that the funds fulfill the purpose of the foundation, each fund has its own local or special mission. You can apply for a grant for working and/or expenses.
