This grant program promotes equality for people with disabilities in society by increasing awareness and respect for human rights and combating stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The program provides funding for education, competence raising, awareness building, attitude-shaping work, and knowledge development. Organizations, religious and philosophical communities, counties, municipalities, and city districts in Oslo can apply for grants for projects lasting up to 3 years. The program prioritizes initiatives that advance equality rather than individual assistance, equipment purchases, or building projects. Applicants must be registered in the Volunteer Register, have their own organization number, have existed for at least 2 years, and have written ethical guidelines and procedures that safeguard the rights and safety of children, young people, and vulnerable groups.

This grant supports municipalities, city districts in Oslo, and county municipalities in hiring youth navigators (ungdomsloser) to provide close and tailored follow-up to young people aged 10-24 years. The goal is to help youth facing challenges in completing their education by increasing school attendance, improving school performance, and supporting them in finishing their educational pathway. Youth navigators work directly with young people on their own arenas (school, home, and leisure time), help them access necessary support services, collaborate with parents and other important people in the young person's network, and ensure that help provided is holistic and tailored. The grant and co-financing are primarily used to pay the salaries of youth navigators, with a limited portion available for necessary administrative costs and expenses for travel and accommodation related to competency-building measures.

Regionalt miljøprogram (RMP) is a county-based grant program providing subsidies for implementing environmental measures in agriculture. The program aims to target and stimulate increased environmental efforts in agriculture. All agricultural enterprises can apply for funding to implement environmental measures on their own farms or leased land. The environmental measures are divided into main categories including pollution measures, cultural landscape measures, biological diversity, cultural heritage, air emissions, and reduced use of pesticides. Applications are submitted electronically through Altinn, with a direct connection to a map solution where applicants can enter all their measures. The program is administered by Lillestrøm municipality in cooperation with the agricultural department of the County Governor (Statsforvalteren) in Oslo, Akershus, Buskerud and Østfold. A complete overview of RMP, including application forms, regulations, and rates can be found at the County Governor's office.
