Helle Bennetts Almennyttige Fond is a Norwegian grantmaker that supports services for dying people and their families, people living with chronic illness or disability, and marginalised groups at risk of exclusion. Its portfolio suggests a practical, community-based approach, backing hospice and respite care, psychosocial support, integration activities, and some international relief or development-style organizations, with additional support for research and culture. The funder appears to favor hands-on organizations that improve daily life and belonging for vulnerable people rather than broad policy advocacy.
Competitive general grants reviewed at four board meetings per year, with typical awards ranging from under 100,000 NOK to 300,000+ NOK depending on need and reporting requirements. Funding appears to be application-based rather than invite-only, with support across Norway and occasionally internationally.
