Crowdfunding for Our Kuopio Festival
Crowdfunding for Our Kuopio Festival is carried out in cooperation with the Mesenaatti.me service. Crowdfunding supplements the City’s own grant programmes. Crowdfunding is used to collect funds for events for Our Kuopio Festival. Funding is collected in small sums from a large number of people. Crowdfunding gives the residents the opportunity to contribute to the financing of the events of Our Kuopio Festival.
Who can start a crowdfunding campaign?
All Our Kuopio Festival event producers can start crowdfunding campaigns through the Mesenaatti.me service. We recommend first applying for the production grant, so that you can get a favourable decision and receive funding even if the minimum target set for your crowdfunding campaign is not met.
What is the role of the City?
The City co-sponsors the campaigns with a sum between EUR 100 and EUR 1,000 depending on the content of the event. Not all campaigns are automatically funded. Events must be open to everyone, free of charge, and substance-free.
The City also supports campaigns through exposure in the City’s communication channels, such as websites and social media.
