OUR WAY OF
ENGAGING
WHAT WE SUPPORT
We believe that local engagement sparks improvement in people’s lives. We believe our role is to empower visionaries, talents and individuals with ideas and a strong sense of purpose and commitment.
Making a difference
We believe all humans have equal value and deserve the opportunity to pursue their dreams, no matter their culture and background.
We look for innovative projects that create positive change with lasting impact for individuals and communities. Small or big, we fund projects where our support plays a crucial role and makes a difference for the success of the project.
We are active partners and help our projects create long-term change, by sharing knowledge, stories and results to inspire and show others what is possible.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global call to action for positive change. Everything we do and support are anchored in our commitment to the SDGs.
Our five priority areas
Children & Youth
Music & Culture
Health Research
Climate
Action
Impact Investment
Who we support
We support international and Norwegian projects. All project partners must have a strong link to Norway and a Norwegian partner. For projects in Norway, we prioritize initiatives on the west coast of Norway.
“We need a society with strong local engagement.”
– Per Grieg sr.
