Grete Øiestad Legat is a place-based Norwegian foundation that supports young people ages 15–25 in Sandnes who are living with a physical disability or lasting physical impacts from serious illness such as cancer. Its giving appears to be directed primarily toward organizations or initiatives that help these youth with practical support, rehabilitation, and psychosocial needs, with a strong emphasis on local impact in Sandnes and, when needed, the wider Jæren area. The funder is distinctive for its tightly defined beneficiary group and geography, and for focusing on assistance that helps medically affected youth function and participate more fully in daily life.
Annual distributions with variable grant sizes; historical awards include roughly NOK 30,000 to NOK 300,000. Funding is managed by the foundation and awarded to organizations serving the target group, with application timing tied to posted annual deadlines.
Watch the foundation website for the annual call and deadline updates; prior deadlines have been posted on the site. Applications should clearly show direct benefit to youth ages 15–25 in Sandnes (or Jæren if relevant), and explain how the project addresses physical disability, serious illness consequences, or related psychosocial support.
