Regionalt kulturfond for Østfold

Regionalt kulturfond for Østfold is a regional cultural fund designed to stimulate increased activity and participation in cultural life. The fund strengthens collaboration between professional and voluntary cultural activities, reinforces local and regional cultural volunteerism, and contributes to higher quality in arts and culture offerings locally and regionally. The program supports a wide range of initiatives from early-stage concept development to larger strategic projects, with three distinct funding categories: Startup projects (up to 50,000 kr), Collaboration projects (25,000-250,000 kr), and Development and Growth projects (up to 500,000 kr). The fund particularly emphasizes projects that reach new target groups, build inclusive meeting places, improve working conditions for artists, support talent development, and contribute to regional plans for 2025-2040.
