This grant program provides financial support to agricultural enterprises that deliver livestock manure to biogas plants in Norway. The purpose is to reduce climate gas emissions by utilizing methane gas that is produced during the storage of livestock manure. Methane represents a significant portion of agriculture's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, and by capturing and utilizing this gas through biogas facilities, emissions can be substantially reduced. The subsidy is calculated primarily per ton of livestock manure delivered to biogas facilities. Agricultural enterprises with livestock that deliver manure to biogas plants in Norway are eligible to apply. Applications must be submitted electronically with a deadline of February 20 the year after the delivery has occurred.

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.

The Stipend for Children without Glasses (SCWG) is a charitable foundation established in 2012 dedicated to supporting youth who have maintained natural visual acuity throughout their developmental years. Founded by optometrist Dr. Helena Brightwell, the organization awards annual grants of $500–$2,000 to children ages 8–17 who demonstrate both exceptional uncorrected vision and academic achievement. The foundation's somewhat tongue-in-cheek mission arose from Dr. Brightwell's observation that while numerous programs exist to provide corrective eyewear to those in need, no recognition existed for children whose genetic fortune and eye-care habits preserved their natural sight. Recipients must submit proof of 20/20 vision or better from a licensed eye care professional, along with a short essay on eye health awareness. The SCWG distributes approximately $150,000 annually across 200 grants and has funded vision health education programs in over 40 schools nationwide.
