Report on the use of the previous grant

An affirmative answer opens a further question
▢ I have not received a grant from the City of Helsinki for the same purpose in the previous year.
▢ I received a grant from the city of Helsinki for the same purpose last year.
Provide a report on the use of the grant received from the City of Helsinki. A report on the use of the grant must be drawn up for the grant concerning the previous accounting period. A report on the use should not be drawn up for the current accounting period. Providing the report on the use is a prerequisite for receiving the next grant. If no report on the use is provided, the grant will not be awarded or paid. A grant awarded may be recovered if the use of the previous grant has not been satisfactorily reported.
 

The report on the use must briefly describe how the received grant has been used. The recipient must arrange its accounting in such a way that it is possible to monitor the use of the grant. For example, if a community has received a lease grant, the profit and loss account in the financial statements must show the grant in both income and expenses. Further information on the use of the grant can also be written in a separate attachment, which can be returned under Report on the use.

In the practice hours section, do not report the training output of individual actives, but the actual practice hours organized for Helsinki residents belonging to the age group.

If the actual number of training hours for an age group cannot be ascertained (e.g. many mixed groups), can the share of that age group be calculated from the total number of hours based on the share of the number of active members from Helsinki in the age group out of the total number of active members from Helsinki. E.g. the total number of hours in the division (all mixed groups) is 100 hours, where 10 adults and 20 under 20-year-olds are active: the number of hours for adults is 33 hours and for under 20-year-olds 67 hours. However, the actual number of hours realized for the age group should be used primarily.

4. Additional information and attachments

Additional information concerning the application

Attachments

All the attachments listed below must be submitted for the processing of the grant application. The grant application may be rejected if the attachments are not submitted. If any of the attachments is missing, let us know in the Further clarification on attachments section of the application.

Required attachments

For the processing of the grant application, the required attachments are the confirmed attachments approved and signed by the community at its meeting for the previous accounting period and for the operating year for which the grant is being applied for. The attachments concerning the previous accounting period are the financial statements, the annual report and the audit or performance audit report. The attachments for the year for which the grant is being applied for are the budget and action plan.

An applicant applying for a sports facility usage grant must provide the previous year’s facility use data with a separate facility use attachment to be attached to the application. The calculation of a facility usage grant will be based on the information provided in the facility use attachment.

Submission of several attachments as a single file

If you wish, you can submit several attachments as a single file under Financial statements or Budget. In this case, under the other attachment headings, indicate “The attachment has been submitted as a single file or with another application.”

Attachments previously submitted to the City of Helsinki

If the required attachments have already been submitted as attachments to another grant application addressed to the City of Helsinki, the same attachments do not need to be submitted again. The confirmed financial statements, annual report, action plan and budget of the community cannot be different from one application to another. In this case, under the submitted attachments, indicate “The attachment has been submitted as a single file or with another application”.

The contents of the attachments cannot be viewed afterwards

Please note that you will not be able to open the attachments after you have attached them to the form. You will only see the file name of the attachment.

Although you cannot view the attachments afterwards, the attachments to the form are sent along with the other information on the form to the grant application processor.

 

New applicant or changed rules

 

The financial statements must include at least the profit and loss account and the balance sheet. An association must append to this section the financial statements confirmed and signed at the association’s annual meeting. The community’s accounting period may be a calendar year or some other period. In the case of associations, their own rules state what the association’s accounting period is.

 

An association must append to this section the annual report confirmed at the association’s annual meeting. If the annual report is part of the financial statements and you have already appended it to the form with the financial statements, it does not need to be appended here separately. In this case, under the annual report, indicate “The attachment has been submitted as a single file or with another application”.

 

Append here a signed audit or performance audit report for the previous accounting period for the community. If the signed audit or performance audit report is part of your community’s financial statements and you already appended it to the form for the financial statements, select “The appendix has been submitted as a single file or with another application”.

 

Append here the action plan for the whole community.

 

Budget (for the year for which you are applying for a grant)

 

An applicant applying for a sports facility usage grant must provide the previous year’s facility use data with a separate facility use appendix to be attached to the application. The calculation of a facility usage grant will be based on the information provided in the facility use appendix.
