Information for grant recipients

CULTURAL COMMITTEE MEETING : Asta Balto, Petra-Biret Magga-Vars and Oskar Östergren Njajta

The Saami Council will not demand repayment of project or travel support for events / activities that are now canceled or postponed due to the collective handling of the corona virus. If you have received cultural funding from the Saami Council and are affected by circumstances surrounding the corona virus, this should be stated in the report and accounts that are delivered in the usual way. You do not need to notify us if the event was canceled. If you need to postpone the project period, you can send a short application by e-mail briefly explaining the cause and stating the desired new project period. This also applies to the work grant.

All expenses for which a subsidy has been granted will be covered, even though the measure has not been implemented. This includes budgeted expenses for preparation and the actual implementation of the measure, such as expenses for performers or artists. All expenses must be documented in the accounts and report in the same way as normal, cf. terms of the grant letter.

The Saami Council respects the authorities' advice regarding the coronavirus and has canceled travels and meetings. The employees have home offices, but can be reached by email and telephone.
