Cultural Funds of the Saami Council

The Saami Council has published a new grant form called Dalán-doarjja (Immediate grant). The new grant has been created to support the Sámi arts and culture sector in unexpected, urgent, and time-bound events. A surprising opportunity can be, for example, participation in a festival, concert, exhibition, course, or other significant art and culture event for which it may not have been possible to apply for funding elsewhere. The maximum amount of a Dalán grant is 20,000 NOK. The application periods for the Dalán grant in 2025 are in March and September. Read the Dalán scholarship rules here:
