Discover Funding Opportunities

This grant program provides funding for culture and activity card schemes that give free or discounted access to individual activities and experiences for children and youth. The card can be designed either physically or digitally, as a card, app, website or something else suitable for the target group. The program aims to give children and youth in families with low income the opportunity to participate in activities they otherwise would not be able to afford. Eligible activities include swimming pools, cinemas, museums, theaters, trampoline parks, concerts, sports events, amusement parks, climbing parks, courses, go-karting, bowling and similar experiences. The scheme is part of a broader effort to include children and youth who are at risk of social exclusion.

This grant supports cultural, recreational, and holiday activities organized as group offerings for children and young people aged 0-24 who are at risk of social exclusion. Eligible activities include summer camps, overnight trips, after-school activities, theater groups, homework help, and similar programs. Activities must be organized as group offerings that take place during leisure time (afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays) and should create safety, community, belonging, and mastery. The program requires participating municipalities to have a coordination function that oversees voluntary and public work directed at the target group. Funding is provided for periods up to three years with a minimum grant amount of 50,000 NOK per year.

Spillemidler til kulturbygg, kulturhus og andre kulturarenaer skal bidra til egnede lokaler og bygninger som gir rom for ulik kulturell virksomhet. Arenaene skal fungere som kulturelle møtesteder for alle. Søknad om støtte til lokaler for øving og produksjon behandles på lik linje med saler for formidling. Ordningen støtter både nybygging, kjøp og ombygging av kulturarenaer, samt tilrettelegging av eksisterende lokaler for kulturformål. Tilskudd kan gis til flerfunksjonshus, kultursal, øvelokaler, teaterlokaler, formidlingslokaler for visuell kunst, og lokale arenaer som samfunnshus og grendehus som inneholder kulturaktiviteter. Søkere kan være offentlige virksomheter, frivillige organisasjoner, eller andre selskapsformer med ideelt formål. Kun eier av arenaen kan søke om tilskudd. Ordningen administreres av Asker kommune i samarbeid med Akershus fylkeskommune.
