Sumud – the Finnish Palestine Network is launching a new grant for Palestinians living in Finland. The grant supports projects and activities that advance the human and political rights of Palestinians and strengthen solidarity with Palestine.

About the grant

A total of 500 € is available, which will be awarded to two applicants. Each selected applicant will receive a grant of 250 €.

The grant can be used for a wide range of projects and activities. For example, you could organise a film screening, discussion or workshop, create a video, publication or other form of media, organise a cultural or political event or develop another initiative that contributes to Palestinian rights and solidarity. We welcome different kinds of ideas and approaches!

Projects should follow Sumud’s principles and be carried out during 2027. After completing the project, grant recipients will be asked to submit a short report (approx. 1 page) describing what was done with the grant.
