Johanniterorden i Sverige Ekonomisk Hjälp

Johanniterorden i Sverige offers financial assistance to elderly, sick, and economically disadvantaged individuals, as well as organizations and projects related to healthcare or elder care. The organization handles a large number of applications for financial assistance from individuals and organizations each year, both in Sweden and abroad. Financial aid is primarily given to elderly and/or sick individuals. To a lesser extent, aid is also provided to children and families in difficult circumstances. Dental care and vision and hearing aids are prioritized. For individuals, assistance is primarily provided in the form of direct orders to healthcare providers or other suppliers, who can then invoice Johanniterorden directly. Only in a few cases is assistance provided in cash. For organizations, financial assistance is only given to specific accountable activities/projects, not for general operational support (administrative or personnel costs). The final recipients of the relevant activity/project must be economically disadvantaged according to tax legislation. A prerequisite for assistance is that the applicant is economically disadvantaged according to the Swedish Tax Agency's guidelines. According to these, an applicant may have a taxable annual income of a maximum of four price base amounts, which is a maximum of 210,000 SEK (2023). Deviations from this amount can be made if, for example, there are minor children living at home.
