Grants for cultural activities, second allocation 2025

Event and Project Grants

Twice a year, the Culture and Tourism Committee of Hafnarfjörður invites applications for grants supporting cultural activities and the development of the town’s cultural life. The goal is to support cultural initiatives in line with the town’s cultural policy and to provide funding to individuals and organizations for artistic and cultural creation. Artists, organizations, institutions, or cultural events must have a connection to Hafnarfjörður. Either through residency, by holding the event in Hafnarfjörður, or by promoting cultural activity of the town. Grants are not awarded for travel, studies, or general operations. Applications must include the following:

• Objectives, description, and purpose of the application

• Amount of funding requested

• Timeline and project plan

• Other sources of funding

• Budget

The committee evaluates applications based on the project’s goals and how they contribute to a diverse cultural life for the benefit of residents and local artists. Consideration is given to the feasibility of the project, the budget, and the timeline. It is also possible to apply for a cooperation agreement for long-term or recurring projects for up to three years.

Information about the grant application, allocation rules, and important considerations for applicants can be found online.

Applications must be submitted electronically via My Pages on the Hafnarfjörður website: www.hafnarfjordur.is

The application deadline is September 4th, 2025.
