45 applicants received support for projects and events
Almost £75,000 was granted for projects over the 2018 Year of Our Island initiative.
Throughout the year, the political board received 92 applications - with 45 given funding approval.
A maximum figure of £6,000 was available per application.
In total more than £400,000 was sought by applicants - but fewer than half were successful.
The numbers have been revealed in a written answer to Tynwald, by the Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas.
He says there are many factors considered with each application:
Smile of Mann programme to start in primary schools next year
Loganair passengers yet to be reunited with bags left in Manchester on Sunday
Kirk Michael man taking on 31 marathons in 31 days in memory of friend
Government grant partially funded fishing vessel later used for smuggling
