Grants for DKK 100,000 or less

If you have received a project grant of DKK 100,000 or less, including from Danish Arts Foundation, you must submit a declaration that your supported activity has been cancelled due to the precautionary measures taken by the authorities related to COVID-19.

When you have submitted the report form, you do not have to do anything else. The secretariat will assess the report form. 

Please note, however that after the assessment by the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces, you may be asked to send further documentation.

CONDITIONS FOR BEING ABLE TO RETAIN THE SUBSIDY

YOU CONFIRM THAT YOUR ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19

When you submit your report form, you confirm that your project or activity was not able to be started or completed  due to the measures taken by the authorities related to COVID-19.

You also confirm that all or part of your project’s total planned activity period should have been during the period of 9 March 2020 through 8 June 2020.

It is important to note that submission of a false declaration is punishable pursuant to section 163 of the Danish Penal Code.

IF PARTS OF THE ACTIVITY TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE OF THIS PERIOD

If parts of your activity period should have taken place outside of the period of 9 March 2020 through 8 June 2020, you must state the dates within which the activity period took place in your report form.

It is important to note that the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces may require that the grant be repaid for that part of the activity period that took place outside of the period from 9 March through 8 June 2020 if the activity was not completed.

Random checks

The Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces makes random checks of some of the project support grants and requests documentation for cancellation and that any obligations to third parties have been complied with. If your case is selected for a random check, you will be notified within five weeks after we have received your report form. If your project is selected for a random check, we will provide you with guidance on what your documentation should look like.

KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS AND DOCUMENTATION

We do not ask for your vouchers, receipts and the like when we receive your documentation. However, for a period of five years from the project’s end date, we may ask for documentation for the project’s financing, as well as documentation about cancellation and that any obligations to third parties have been fulfilled. Therefore, it is important that you save your accounting documentation, such as vouchers and receipts, for this period.
