Discover Funding Opportunities

This is a grant program from the Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs (Bufdir) that provides funding for housing and support services for persons over 18 years old who have been subjected to negative social control and honor-related violence. The grant supports the operation of a national service offering that helps users within safe frameworks to re-establish themselves and live as normal a life as possible. The service is intended to supplement the legally mandated support services in municipalities. Bufdir has overall responsibility for the housing and support services for young people subjected to forced marriage and honor-related violence, with the Competence Team against Negative Social Control and Honor-Related Violence coordinating and administering the service, while municipalities have operational responsibility for the content and operation of individual services.

This grant supports municipalities in Norway to coordinate, facilitate, and organize collaboration internally within the municipality and between the municipality and other actors. The goal is to increase participation of children and young people (ages 0-24) at risk of social exclusion in leisure activities. Coordination work must occur at the systems level. Municipalities can establish or further develop collaborative structures, create action plans for increased participation in leisure activities, develop overviews of leisure activities, create routines for collaboration, and work toward good information exchange among all who work with the target group. The coordination work should be based on existing conditions related to children and young people's participation in leisure activities in the municipality, including identifying barriers to participation and existing support measures. Youth participation should be facilitated through methods such as youth conferences or inclusion of student/youth councils in coordination work.

Driftstilskuddet er en støtteordning for lokale, flerkulturelle organisasjoner i Lillestrøm kommune. Tilskuddet skal bidra til integrering og økt frivillig aktivitet blant innvandrergrupper. Ordningen gjelder kun for kultur-/innvandrerforeninger, det vil si frivillige lag og foreninger som har hovedandelen av sine medlemmer med opprinnelse fra andre land enn Norge. Tilskuddet tildeles basert på antall medlemmer over 6 år som er registrert i foreningen. Alle medlemmene må betale medlemsavgift og være registrert med navn, adresse, e-post, telefonnummer og fødselsår. Foreningen må ha jevnlige aktiviteter for sine medlemmer og ha eksistert i mer enn 1 år. Organisasjonen må være registrert i Brønnøysundregisteret, Frivillighetsregisteret og i Lillestrøm kommunes lag- og foreningsregister.

Frivillighetspakken for nye foreninger is a grant program offered by Asker kommune (Asker municipality) in Norway to support newly established voluntary organizations. The program provides financial support to new organizations that are established during the application year and cannot apply for the standard head grant or volunteer package in that year. This grant follows the same rates as the ordinary volunteer package and is available on a rolling application basis. The program is designed to help new organizations get started and establish themselves in the community, covering various types of voluntary organizations except for certain categories like parent councils (FAU), religious communities, political organizations, volunteer centers, and regional branches of associations.

Spillemidler til bygging og rehabilitering av idrettsanlegg skal bidra til en infrastruktur som gir befolkningen mulighet til både egenorganisert aktivitet og aktivitet i regi av den frivillige medlemsbaserte idretten. Det kan søkes om tilskudd til bygging og rehabilitering av idrettsanlegg som er åpne for allmenn idrettslig virksomhet og som ikke er underlagt kommersielle interesser. Hovedregel er at det kan søkes om tilskudd med inntil 1/3 av anleggets godkjente kostnad opp til et maksimumsbeløp på kr 1 000 000. Nedre grense for godkjent kostnad ved beregning av tilskudd er kr 150 000. Det er et grunnleggende prinsipp at støtte i form av spillemidler ikke skal danne grunnlag for fortjenestebaserte eierformer eller omdannes til fortjeneste for private eiere.

Following certain... incidents... with our Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System, Aperture Science recognizes the critical importance of AI safety research. This fellowship supports researchers working on alignment, containment protocols, and preventing AI systems from testing humans involuntarily. Areas of interest include: neural network interpretability, value alignment in autonomous systems, and robust containment for superintelligent AI. We especially welcome proposals that address the "cake problem" — ensuring AI systems deliver on their promises.

The Aperture Innovation Accelerator provides seed funding for early-stage startups working on technologies that Cave Johnson himself would have approved of. We're looking for moonshot ideas that conventional funders would consider "too dangerous" or "scientifically impossible." Past cohort projects include: combustible lemon batteries, portal-powered logistics, and sentient turret therapy systems. If your idea makes safety officers nervous, you might be a perfect fit.

Aperture Science is offering funding for researchers pushing the boundaries of interdimensional transport technology. We seek proposals addressing quantum tunneling at macroscopic scales, stable wormhole generation, and momentum conservation in non-Euclidean transit systems. "Now you're thinking with portals!" — This grant supports exactly that kind of thinking. Previous recipients have achieved breakthroughs in spatial displacement, though companion cube preservation rates remain a challenge.
