Grants
Are you a cultural actor, an institution, an association or a group of friends with an idea to improve cultural life in our city, and only thing you lack is the means to implement it? You are in the right place.
As part of the candidacy for this prestigious European title, the city has decided to launch a grant program with three grant calls. The aim is to involve local cultural actors and their work in the candidacy for the European Capital of Culture 2028. The development of existing cultural activities will be supported, but also the launch of new projects that will contribute to the success of the candidacy and the titular year itself.
Projects and activities that have already been supported under another grant program from the budget of the City of Budweis can also apply for support from this grant call.

Applicants will be able to submit a maximum of one application per call:
Call 1

The total allocation for all three calls is:
CZK 1 500 000
Submitting an application
