About the Fund

The aim of the Nordic Culture Fund is to support a broad spectrum of cultural cooperations between the Nordic countries.

The Nordic Culture Fund awards about 28 million Danish kroner (DKK) every year to cultural projects in the Nordic Region or Nordic projects taking place outside the region.

The projects that are granted and have been granted support reflect the entire cultural life, and include everything from visual art, theatre, music, and dance, to literature and new media. Education, research, and trans-sectorial projects may also be eligible for support from the Fund, though such projects must have a clear connection to art and culture.

The projects that can receive support from the Fund must include at least three Nordic countries or autonomous areas (the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and the Aland Islands) in order to be eligible for support from the Fund.

Decisions as to which projects may be granted support are taken by the board of the Fund, which has 13 members.

The daily work is carried out by the secretariat of the Nordic Culture Fund in Copenhagen.
