Funding Opportunities
Støtte til arbeids- og utdanningsreiser
This program provides financial support for taxi transportation to and from work or education for individuals who have mobility difficulties that prevent them from using public transportation. The support is intended for people who have long-term mobility challenges lasting at least one year, making it impossible for them to commute to work or education using public transport. Applicants pay a co-payment to the taxi driver for each trip, which equals the cost of the cheapest public transportation option plus a 10% surcharge. NAV covers the remaining transportation costs through a personal travel card issued by Rogaland Taxi. The program is not available to those receiving other forms of transportation support from NAV, such as car allowances or basic allowances for transport, or for those whose transportation costs are covered by their employer or educational institution.
Tilskudd til kjøp av PC eller nettbrett ved lese- og skrivevansker
This grant provides financial support for children in primary school with specific reading and writing difficulties such as dyslexia to purchase a PC or tablet. The support is provided when the student has documented specific reading and writing difficulties and when the school's equipment does not adequately meet the student's needs. The grant is a fixed amount that does not require receipts or documentation of the purchase, and can be reapplied for after four years. Both parents/guardians and school staff can apply on behalf of the child, and the application must include documentation of the specific learning difficulties and explanation of how the device will be integrated into the pedagogical plan at school.
Tilskudd til apper og programvare
This grant provides financial support for apps and software specifically developed for various disabilities. NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) offers a fixed amount of 2,000 Norwegian kroner to cover all or part of the costs for applications or software for PC, tablet, or phone. The grant can be used to cover the purchase itself and any ongoing costs for subscriptions and licenses. The disability must be permanent, meaning it must last for more than two years. The app/program must be installable on the applicant's private device (PC, tablet, or smartphone). NAV does not cover the purchase of the device on which the software is to be installed, even if the software cannot be installed on an existing device. Applicants can apply again after two years. This support is intended for apps and software that are specially developed to help with disabilities and that are not commonly used by most people.
Tilskudd til rimelige hjelpemidler
This grant provides financial support for people with permanent functional impairments who need specially developed assistive devices that are not part of the assistive device center's inventory. The grant is intended to cover extra expenses for affordable, specially developed assistive devices that directly help alleviate a functional impairment. Recipients purchase the products themselves and do not need to specify what they will buy or provide receipts. The grant is a fixed amount that can be reapplied for after four years. From January 1, 2026, the grant amount is 2,210 NOK.
Midlertidig lønnstilskudd
Midlertidig lønnstilskudd is a temporary wage subsidy program offered by NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) to help individuals with reduced work capacity or difficulty finding employment. The subsidy is paid to employers who hire eligible individuals. When participating in this program, the individual is employed under standard wage and work conditions, performing regular tasks within the organization. The wage subsidy compensates employers for reduced productivity compared to other employees. The program aims to increase opportunities for individuals to obtain regular employment or help those at risk of losing their job after being on sick leave for 12 months. NAV and the employer create an agreement specifying duration, employment terms, and necessary follow-up and workplace adjustments. Employers can also apply for additional inclusion subsidies to cover documented extra costs for workplace accommodations, as well as subsidies for mentorship to help participants succeed in their roles.
Varig lønnstilskudd
Varig lønnstilskudd is a permanent wage subsidy program designed to increase employment opportunities for job seekers with permanently and significantly reduced work capacity. The subsidy compensates employers for lower productivity due to the reduced work capacity of the employee. NAV provides this subsidy without time limitation to employers who hire or retain a person with permanently and significantly reduced work capacity. The subsidy covers up to 67 percent of wage and social costs, or up to 75 percent during the first year. The maximum refund is up to 5 times the basic amount in the National Insurance Scheme (G) per year, which is 650,800 kroner. This program is also available for individuals at risk of losing their job after being on sick leave for 12 months, or those receiving full or graded disability benefits who wish to work. NAV provides necessary follow-up support to both the employee and employer to support the employment relationship.
Tilskudd til sommerjobb
Tilskudd til sommerjobb is a support program offered by NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) for young job seekers aged 16-29 who have little or no work experience and need help entering the labor market. The program provides subsidies to employers who hire young people for temporary summer positions. Participants perform regular work tasks at the workplace and receive support from both NAV and a contact person at the workplace. The program aims to provide work experience and help young people gain entry to the labor market on normal wage and working conditions. An agreement is made between the participant, NAV, and the employer that clarifies the duration, employment relationship, and follow-up needs. The subsidy is designed to lower the barrier for employers to hire young people with limited work experience.
Tilskudd til ekspertbistand
Tilskudd til ekspertbistand is a grant program offered by NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) to support employees and employers who need expert assistance with workplace challenges leading to sick leave. The program provides funding for expert consultation to help identify workplace issues causing absenteeism and develop solutions to enable employees to return to work. The employer applies for the grant and receives reimbursement for expert services. The expert can be a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, nurse, psychologist, or other qualified professional with expertise in work and health. The expert conducts an assessment and provides a report describing the causes of sick leave and proposing measures for return to work. Both the employee and employer must agree that expert assistance is the most appropriate intervention, and NAV must approve before the process begins.
Tilskot til ombygging
This is a Norwegian government grant program that provides financial support for home renovations as an alternative to installing ramps and elevators for individuals with reduced mobility. The grant enables recipients to create permanently accessible housing by converting their homes to have all necessary rooms on one floor and establishing step-free entrances. This provides a more permanent and practical solution than installing assistive devices like stair lifts, platform lifts, or ramps. The program is administered by NAV (the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) and is available to members of the national insurance scheme who have reduced walking function lasting more than two years. The grant amount corresponds to what the assistive device would have cost if installed, with specific maximum amounts for different types of solutions. The funding can be combined with other financing sources such as Husbanken or municipal support as part of a comprehensive financing plan.
Inkluderingstilskudd
Inkluderingstilskudd er et tilskudd til arbeidsgivere som har behov for tilrettelegging for ansatte eller deltakere på arbeids- eller tiltaksplassen. Hensikten med tilskuddet er å gjøre det mulig å prøve ut eller lette ansettelsen av personer som er i et tiltak gjennom Nav eller som har et særlig tilretteleggings- og oppfølgingsbehov. Tilskuddet kan kompensere for ulike kostnader arbeidsgiveren har i forbindelse med tilrettelegging. Dette inkluderer eksterne ressurser for å vurdere behovet for tilrettelegging, ekstra innkjøp av møbler, arbeidshjelpemidler, personlig utstyr, IKT-hjelpemidler, programvare, lisenser, forsikring og kurs eller kortere opplæringstiltak for å kunne utføre arbeidet. Tilskuddet fra Nav kan dekke arbeidsgiverens utgifter opp til et maksimalbeløp på 160 400 kroner. Ordinære kostnader ved ansettelse blir ikke dekket, og medisinsk behandling eller hjelpemidler som kan dekkes etter folketrygdloven dekkes ikke gjennom inkluderingstilskuddet. Det er arbeidsgiveren som søker om tilskuddet, selv om det er den ansatte som får nytte av tilretteleggingen.
Reisetilskudd
Reisetilskudd is a Norwegian travel allowance subsidy provided by NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) as an alternative to sickness benefits when it enables the recipient to work fully or partially. The program covers necessary extra travel expenses to and from work when an individual has temporary health issues that prevent them from using their regular means of transportation. The subsidy can be combined with graded sickness benefits and is designed to keep people in work despite temporary health limitations that affect their ability to commute. The allowance replaces sickness benefits and is limited to the amount the recipient would have received in sickness benefits for the same period. The program is available to employees, self-employed individuals, and freelancers who meet the conditions for sickness benefits and have a temporary need for alternative transportation due to health issues.
