General grants
What are general grants?
By means of general grants, the City of Tampere supports e.g., promotion of wellbeing and health, culture, sports, and physical activities, as well as hobbies for children and youth.
A registered association that has functioned for at least one year can apply for a general grant. The application period for general grants is January. For festivals and large public events, however, the application period is November.
General grants can be awarded for regular activities practiced by associations that are open to all and occur in Tampere. Grants are not issued for entrepreneurial operations or for the practice of religion.

Everyone organizing events or other activities should have their own safer space principles. Written safer space principles are especially meaningful for minority groups who have often experienced discrimination and fear being treated inappropriately again.
The City of Tampere has compiled an information package to help you understand safer space principles and how to apply them. Explore the materials and create your own guidelines: Safer Space Principles.
