Föreningen FVO Ekonomiskt Bidrag för Privatpersoner

Föreningen FVO (Fredrika-Bremer-Förbundets Välfärdsorganisation) provides financial support to economically disadvantaged individuals in Sweden. The organization distributes funds from collaborating foundations to help with expenses that state and municipal support does not cover. Support can be requested for dental care, glasses, recreation, household equipment, leisure activities, temporary financial reinforcement, and other needs. Applicants must have a permanent residence, have applied for all other benefits they are entitled to (such as housing allowance), and meet income criteria defined by the Swedish Tax Agency. As a single person, the annual income for 2024 should not exceed 229,200 SEK, with an additional 57,300 SEK per additional person in the household. Applications are evaluated individually based on financial need, and meeting the income criteria does not guarantee funding as resources are limited. The organization has been operating since 1889 and works with multiple foundations with different purposes, some targeting specific geographic areas, demographics, or professional categories.
