Giving Approach

Primarily programmatic and relationship-based giving rather than open competition. The foundation does not accept open applications; it reviews short project descriptions when appropriate, typically decides at an annual November board meeting, and also offers in-kind scholars-in-residence support at Engelsberg Ironworks.

How to approach this funder

There is no open application process, so prospective applicants should submit a concise project description of no more than six pages double-spaced and clearly explain the humanities/social science relevance, the research or education value, and any ties to Sweden. Because decisions are normally made at the annual November board meeting, it is best to approach well in advance and tailor proposals to the foundation’s themes, such as applied history, statecraft, diplomacy, or scholarly publishing.
