About Kalevalaseura-säätiö

Kalevalaseura-säätiö (the Kalevala Society Foundation) supports work that deepens understanding of the Kalevala, Finnish folklore, and broader cultural heritage, with a clear emphasis on both scholarly research and artistic interpretation. It also appears to back outreach and public engagement activities, including competitions, events, and projects that keep Kalevala-related heritage visible in contemporary Finnish culture. Applicants are most likely to be researchers, artists, educators, and organizations working directly with Kalevala themes or heritage preservation in Finland.

Giving Approach

Annual grant call with applications typically accepted March 1–31; awards support research, artistic work, events, and related outreach. Giving appears program-specific and theme-restricted rather than open-ended, with grants likely ranging from project support to smaller awards tied to Kalevala and cultural heritage activities.

How to approach this funder

Apply during the annual March window and keep proposals tightly aligned with Kalevala, folklore, or cultural heritage themes. Strong applications should clearly explain the project’s connection to Kalevala-related research, art, education, or public engagement in Finland; competition- or school-based projects and collaborative teams may also be competitive if they advance heritage visibility.
