When you pitch, you need to sell your idea. To do so, you target your application to PUKK’s criteria. You are not ensured a grant, but you are in a good position if you meet several of the points below. You can apply for up to DKK 7,000 of the pool.

PUKK SUPPORTS:

  • Beginners and amateur projects with small budgets engaging in fundraising for the first time

  • The voluntary youth culture

  • Small “here and now” projects

  • The alternative youth culture

  • The non-commercial musical life

  • Literature and debate events

  • Projects focusing on sports and movement

  • Theatre and dance projects

  • Concert, event, and exhibition events

  • Youth Democratic projects

  • Cross-artistic projects

  • Innovative initiatives and original ideas

  • Public events

  • SMALL film projects - remember to focus on public screening of the film or process

PUKK can unfortunately not support everything. If you are looking for support for one or more of the following points, you should rethink your project or apply for money elsewhere than PUKK.

PUKK DOES NOT SUPPORT:

  • Projects already held

  • Travel abroad and projects that take place outside of Aarhus Municipality

  • Operating expenses, i.e., expenses for salaries, rent, maintenance, and other administrative tasks. You can apply for grants and tariffs but remember; PUKK prioritizes volunteering as an organization as well as in settlement.

  • PUKK does not support projects where the grant goes exclusively to production costs, including film production. There must be a publicly accessible event linked to the project, including an event, a screening, an exhibition, a debate, etc.

  • Fundraisings where the profits from sales and admission go to a charitable purpose or to the operation of an organization

  • Commercial events. The pool supports the voluntary youth culture.

  • Projects that only benefit the applicant, e.g., demos and projects in connection with admission to a studio

  • Party political, religious, or discriminatory projects

  • As a general rule, the purchase of technical equipment

  • Illegal events

PUKK reserves the right to assess whether the budget is reasonable and to award grants subject to certain changes in the project budget.
