Grant application

Applying for annual grant

You can apply for grants from June through August this year for any activities you want to organize next year. The college will decide by November 30 of this year. You will receive a letter in December telling you whether or not you will receive the grant.

The municipality will only process your application if it is sent on time and complete with all attachments.

Apply for grant for one time

You can apply for this grant for an unexpected activity. You must apply for the grant 13 weeks before the start date of the activity.

Cost of the building

You must put the cost of the building where the activity will be held separately in the application. The municipality wants to make the best use of its buildings. Therefore, if you request a subsidy, you should preferably use a space in a building owned by the municipality. You must make your own arrangements for renting a building. You can find more information in the product Use of spaces or sports fields.
