To support sports activities, Uusikaupunki annually provides local associations with basic sports grants and project-specific grants.
Application periods and guidelines for the grants are defined in the specific grant instructions, available on the city’s website.
Sports and exercise clubs based in Uusikaupunki, whose main purpose is to organize sports activities, are eligible to apply for grants.
Application periods are specified in the grant-specific guidelines. Late applications will not be considered by the committee. Payment schedules are also explained in the grant guidelines.
Grant recipients must provide a report on the use of the grant. If the grant has not been used according to the city’s grant regulations and for the stated purpose, it must be returned. Reporting requirements are detailed in the grant guidelines. By applying, the applicant agrees that the city has the right to audit the association’s accounts and activities.
Applicants must carefully review the required information in the application form and are responsible for ensuring that all details provided are accurate.
The municipality must promote the residents’ possibilities of physical exercise and sports. For example municipalities are responsible for supporting local sports associations.
Sports organisations and clubs may enquire about grants for their activities and, for example, the arrangement of sports events from the municipality in whose area they operate.
