Questions & answers
Answers to the most common questions about the fund and applying.
Who can apply?
Children and young people, teams, groups and associations connected to the municipality of Lund. Other purposes within the fund’s statutes may also be considered.
How much can I apply for?
Individuals and nominees can apply for SEK 500 – 15,000. Teams and groups can apply for SEK 5,000 – 25,000. Associations can apply for SEK 1,000 – 50,000. Grants may be awarded in full or in part, depending on things like the fund’s means and how many apply.
Who sees my application?
Only the fund’s board. A board member with a conflict of interest, for example a relative of the applicant, does not take part in that case. Your information is only used to handle your application. Read more in our privacy policy.
When will I hear back?
We accept applications all year round. The board decides at its meetings, at least once a year and more often when needed. You follow your application in My account, and we email you when something has been updated.
What is My account?
My account is where you start and follow your application, read and send messages, upload additional documents and receipts, and submit bank details if your grant is approved. You log in with your email address and a one-time code that we email to you. No password is needed.
Do I have to write the child's name?
No. Describe the situation without names. We will get back to you in My account.
Can I write in another language?
Yes. The form is in Swedish and English, but you can write your story in whichever language you feel most comfortable with.
Do you have to be active in a sport?
No. There is no requirement for a particular sport or club. Support can also go to someone who can no longer be active because of injury or illness.
Can you receive a grant more than once?
Yes, but we want to help as many people as possible. Previous grants from the fund are taken into account.
Do I need to show receipts?
We may ask you to upload receipts or booking confirmations in My account showing that the money was used for what you applied for. Always keep your receipts.
What happens if the money isn't used as intended?
The fund may then reclaim the grant. This also applies if you cannot show receipts when asked. Have your plans changed? Contact us before the money is spent.
Do you always pay out money?
No. Sometimes the fund makes the purchase or booking for you instead, for example ordering a pair of football boots delivered straight to you.
Is there anything you don't fund?
The fund does not pay compensation for work performed, such as salaries or fees.
