Applying for a grant
Who can apply for a grant?
Communities based in Turku and primarily operating within the city can apply for a grant.
When to apply for the grant?
You can apply for a repair and renovation grant all year round. The Health and Well-being Promotion Committee processes the applications twice a year, depending on the number of applications received.
What is the grant awarded for?
The grant helps cover the costs of maintaining and renovating properties and apartments owned by communities in Turku. These facilities are used to improve the well-being of residents.
The grant does not typically cover costs that are usually paid through resident fees (such as plumbing repairs in a housing company), costs covered by insurance (such as those resulting from water damage), facilities that can be rented out further, or the construction of sports facilities.
The grant can cover up to 50% of the estimated total costs, with a maximum limit of EUR 40,000. We will pay the grant on the basis of the actual costs incurred. If the costs are lower than estimated in the application, we will adjust the grant amount accordingly. You must submit receipts for the total costs within 6 months of completing the renovation.
