How to Apply?

Before applying, it is important to familiarise yourself with the District Fund Allocation Rules (in Icelandic) as well as the Reykjavik City Rules on Grants (in Icelandic).

The Fund accepts grant applications year-round. The Fund only considers applications eligible under Reykjavik City rules.

When considering applications, the District Fund allocation rules, the Reykjavik City Rules on Grants, and Reykjavik City Human Rights Policy are taken into account. It is worth noting that grants are not given retroactively for events and projects, if an application is received after an event has taken place.
