The investment approved by Lisbon City Council for around 35 cultural organizations in the city is more than 892,000 euros.
The aim is to guarantee the continuity of initiatives considered to be of interest to all, while further promoting the development of the city’s artistic and cultural fabric.
According to the proposal approved on Father’s Day (March 19, 2025), this investment in the form of support for these entities is based on the criteria of the importance of the projects, the organization of the associations involved, the estimated revenue and the impact of municipal funding on the general budgets of these initiatives.
