Amateur art grant
Are you planning to organise an art activity in the City of Leeuwarden? Such as a theatre or dance performance or concert? Or your organisation taking part in a competition or contest in or outside the City of Leeuwarden? And are you short of money for this? If so, you can apply for this grant. This is no longer possible for 2024 because the money available for this year has run out. It is however possible for 2025.
What are the conditions?
- Your activity must be able to be visited by residents of the municipality of Leeuwarden.
- If your organisation participates in a competition or contest, the grant should help promote and further develop your association.
- You can make 1 or more applications per year. A maximum grant amount of € 2,200 per year is available.
- The grant is 50% of the organisational costs for the activity, but never more than the amount you are short of and never more than €2,200. You must cover the remaining costs by other means, such as through income from admission, sponsorship, grants from other governments, funds, donors, own contributions or crowdfunding.
What should you attach to your application?
- An activity plan. This includes an overview describing the nature, scope, period, duration, location and method of implementation of the activities for which funding is sought. A description of the background, rationale, approach, planning, PR and desired audience reach is also requested.
- A balanced and adequately explained budget of income and expenditure. The budget also shows the requested grant amount. The budget must absolutely be balanced.
When should we receive your application and attachments?
The grant application must be applied for and received by us 8 weeks before you start the activity.
