Grants

The City of Porvoo provides grants to associations, organisations, communities and individual actors in Porvoo. The activities must support and complement the activities of the sector granting the grant and the implementation of the strategic objectives of the city. The city assists communities whose activities promote the health and well-being of residents, increase their own activity, solidarity and prevent exclusion.

The city grants associations and other actors with general and project grants. The Cultural services also support the organisers of cultural events with reduced rents at cultural centres.
