Applying for a hobby grant
The Äänekoski city's hobby grant is intended primarily for families where it is difficult for children to participate in hobby activities due to the family's financial situation. At the end of this page you will find an electronic form or a printable paper form that you can use to apply for a hobby grant.
You can apply for a grant for children and young people for hobby activities organized by any organization. Granting a grant is discretionary, and it may be affected by the family's ability to receive financial support from other sources, such as social services.
A family can get a grant for the annual membership/club fee of their chosen child or young person, or for e.g. musical instrument and equipment rentals. The amount of the grant awarded to the family is individual and needs-based. A family can apply for a grant for one or more children.
The hobby grant is distributed through the guidance and assessment of a multi-functional team. Grant applications are addressed to the family center's early support supervisor.
The following can apply for a hobby grant:
- guardian of a child or young person
- child or youth employee (e.g. teacher, youth worker, family worker) together with the family.
