Grants and assistance for culture

There are many different types of grants and assistance available for actors in the cultural fields. The aim is to develop culture as a diverse commodity available to one and all.

Support for culture is also important for the economy and employment. The main groups that receive support in the area of physical fitness are children and young people and fitness centres that cater to a wide range of users. The Ministry of Education and Culture provides assistance in the form of statutory grants and government funding for training/education, science, culture, physical fitness and youth work projects. A major contribution to culture comes from proceeds from the Finnish National Lottery (Veikkaus).
