Funding Opportunities
Statsbidrag till ideella organisationer som bedriver arbete för att främja psykisk hälsa och förebygga psykisk ohälsa och suicid 2026
The Public Health Agency of Sweden (Folkhälsomyndigheten) is offering 10 million Swedish kronor in state grants to nonprofit organizations working to promote mental health and prevent mental illness and suicide. The purpose of the grant is to strengthen efforts for mental health. The grant is distributed as project funding for activities that are clearly defined in both end product and time period, with a maximum duration of three calendar years. Organizations must develop their projects in a cost-effective manner that enables follow-up of results and must commit to participating in evaluations and measurements of the grant's effect that the Public Health Agency may conduct. Projects focusing on young adults, elderly people, or individuals at increased risk of loneliness will be prioritized. Knowledge generated through the various projects should contribute to more effective and evidence-based work to promote mental health and prevent mental illness and suicide. Results and experiences from the projects must be disseminated to others working in this field.
Statsbidrag till vissa organisationer inom det civila samhället som arbetar med rörelsefrämjande aktiviteter 2026
Folkhälsomyndigheten offers nine million Swedish kronor in state grants to civil society organizations whose main activity promotes health through physical activity and movement, and which are not covered by established sports or outdoor life support systems. The purpose of the grant is to strengthen and create additional pathways to increased movement and active leisure for people who are not currently sufficiently reached by traditional sports and outdoor life movements. The initiative aims to improve public health and promote equality by strengthening and developing opportunities for increased movement and active leisure. It specifically targets groups most affected by ill health, with the goal of reducing health disparities. Organizations must offer free-of-charge activities, have operated movement-promoting activities in Sweden for at least two years prior to application, and not receive other state support for the same activities in 2026. Priority is given to applications targeting groups at greater risk of ill health, with geographical spread across multiple locations in the country, and demonstrating active outreach work to reach groups that otherwise have difficulty participating in physical activity.
