About J E Mowinckel og Hustrus Legat

J E Mowinckel og Hustrus Legat is a small Bergen-based relief fund that primarily supports individuals living in Bergen Municipality who are in genuine financial need and considered deserving. It also makes grants to organizations, associations, or groups that help or support such individuals, with descendants of the founder given priority when applications are considered. The fund appears to operate as a local social assistance resource rather than a broad charitable foundation.

Giving Approach

Small, locally focused cash grants with an annual application deadline of April 1 when distributions are made; support is primarily for individuals, though some grants may go to organizations serving them. The fund is relatively limited in scale and has announced no distribution for 2026.

How to approach this funder

Applications are tied to the annual April 1 deadline, and applicants should emphasize Bergen residency, financial need, and why they are a deserving recipient. Organizations should clearly show how they directly assist needy Bergen residents; descendants of the founder may have priority, so note any eligible family connection if relevant.
