Kanagawa Prefecture is now accepting applications for projects eligible for the Cultural and Artistic Activities Subsidy
Kanagawa Prefecture has two subsidy systems to support cultural and artistic activities: the "Cultural and Artistic Activity Group Business Subsidy" and the "Magcal Expansion Promotion Subsidy."
We are now accepting applications for subsidy-eligible projects for fiscal year 2025, so organizations wishing to receive subsidies should apply within the deadline.
The application period for both subsidies is from February 17, 2025 to March 17, 2025 .
*The same project cannot apply for both subsidies.
●The "Cultural and Artistic Activity Organization Business Subsidy" is aimed at the activities of non-profit cultural and artistic activity organizations operating within the prefecture, but businesses that are expected to generate profits are not eligible for subsidies, and the maximum subsidy amount is 1 million yen.
●The "Magculine Expansion Promotion Subsidy" is intended to subsidize new projects implemented by cultural and artistic organizations within the prefecture (projects that the organization applying for the subsidy has not implemented before, or projects that add new initiatives to projects that have been implemented in the past). There are conditions for the content of the projects that are eligible for subsidy, but there are also project menus with a maximum subsidy amount exceeding 1 million yen.
