Municipal Council Grants – Second Allocation 2025

The Municipal Council annually provides grants to non-profit organizations, companies, or individuals for activities and services that align with the role of the municipality or are otherwise considered in accordance with the municipality’s policies, priorities, and objectives. Grants are awarded twice a year, and it is now time for this year’s second allocation. The application deadline is September 30th, 2025.

Applicants must have a connection to Hafnarfjörður in some way. For example, this could be through the permanent residence of individuals, by holding the event or project being funded in Hafnarfjörður, and/or by promoting something related to the municipality. Institutions, companies, non-profit organizations, and individuals can apply only once per year, and events or projects are not funded retroactively.
