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.

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, the audit or performance audit report and the minutes of the annual meeting. The attachments for the year for which the grant is being applied for are the budget and action plan.

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.
