Driftstilskudd til lag- og foreninger som driver kulturarbeid

The grant program provides operational subsidies to organizations and associations that conduct cultural work in Fredrikstad municipality. The subsidy is primarily intended to cover administrative expenses and materials for regular operations. Organizations where 60 percent or more of members are aged 6-19 years are eligible for operational subsidies. The funding is based on activity level and number of members, with different rates for music groups (school bands receive higher rates), choirs, and other cultural organizations. The program aims to stimulate cultural work in line with the municipality's cultural policy goals and strategies, with special emphasis on programs for children and youth. Grants are distributed according to a formula based on membership numbers and activity frequency, with separate provisions for newly established organizations and rental expense subsidies.
