Anders Jahres Humanitære Stiftelse gives broadly for humanitarian, cultural, and social purposes in Norway, with a clear local emphasis on Sandefjord and the wider Vestfold region. A notable part of its profile is support for elder care within social initiatives, alongside recurring recognition of outstanding contributions to Norwegian culture through the Anders Jahres Kulturpris. Overall, this is a place-based Norwegian foundation that funds organizations, associations, and selected cultural figures rather than a broad national open call for every cause.
Primarily annual, application-based grantmaking with a February 15 deadline for organizational support, plus an invite-only annual cultural prize. Grant sizes vary widely, with program awards and annual disbursements typically ranging from about NOK 100,000 to NOK 1,000,000 for organizations, while the cultural prize is a large one-time honorarium.

Apply through the foundation’s online portal when it opens in early January, and submit by the February 15 deadline. Proposals should clearly show humanitarian, cultural, or social impact in Norway, and applicants with activities in Sandefjord or Vestfold—especially projects serving older adults—appear especially well aligned. The cultural prize is invite-only and not open to unsolicited applications.
