Grants for Research on Children and Young People

The Åke Wiberg Foundation provides funding for the care and education of children and young people. Examples of eligible projects include initiatives that support children and young people with disabilities or in other vulnerable situations, as well as various educational activities. The foundation does not grant financial support to individuals, activities that fall under public responsibility, or projects of a political, religious, or competitive nature. The foundation was established in 1953 through a donation by Åke Wiberg, a business leader and politician. Today, the foundation has capital exceeding SEK 2.5 billion and annually awards grants totaling more than SEK 60 million across its three main areas of focus: medical research, the humanities and social sciences, and support for children and young people.
