About Familien Brynildsens Legat

Familien Brynildsens Legat is a Bergen-based legacy fund that supports public-benefit institutions serving Bergen and the surrounding district. Its giving is broad but clearly local, with recurring support for research, elder care/welfare institutions, sports, culture, heritage, and civic celebrations, and with explicit statutory references to organizations such as Chr. Michelsens Institutt and local welfare homes. The grantee list suggests a preference for established Bergen institutions with visible community benefit rather than project-only or national-scale organizations.

Giving Approach

Annual legat distributions to eligible institutions, with applications due March 1 and awards made around April 1 at the foundation’s annual meeting. Grants appear to range from modest support to larger institutional awards, likely favoring established local organizations and statutory beneficiaries.

How to approach this funder

Apply by March 1 each year through the foundation’s stated process, and align the request tightly with the legat’s statutes and Bergen-area public benefit mission. Strong applications will emphasize local impact in Bergen/region, institutional longevity, and fit with one of the named priority areas or statutory beneficiaries.
